I just bough a house in Gwinnet county in July. The differences here are more socio-economic and class related than race related. My Zip code, 30084 is the fast increasing average home price zip code in Georgia. My neighborhood has a number of Hispanic, Asian and blacks families. They are just lie everybody else. My wife and I took a walk yesterday and it seemed like the whole neighborhood was outside with their kids or working on their lawns. Good middle class people being neighborly and taking care of their property.

The next neighborhood over is also mixed race but it's seedy. The grocery store smells bad. Kids seem unattended. Day laborers stand on the corners and there are three liquor stores within two blocks but no bank.

So the colors are the same but the people are different. Sometimes it's not about race no matter what the Atlanta Journal Constitution says.

I've been in Powder Springs (Cobb Co.) for 10 years now.

The change in demographics has been pretty startling out here, but it dosen't even hold a candle to Gwinnett.

Utah and Idaho seem nice...8^)
