Yep, and I see it here. They continue to provide that type of housing but it keeps getting shoved out farther and farther even into other towns and suburbs. You can go past neighborhoods with 300,400,600 thousand dollar homes and two blocks away to see new section 8 ghettos, go another 4 blocks and see more reasonably nice modest homes, go farther and etc etc etc. The black politicians are the ones pushing the blacks out by squeezing with developments. Payback to the suburban white flighters I guess. And white guilt allows it. lmao.

that should be coming here....

north Nashville is becoming less black and more gay, Mexican and Wiggah.

near east Nashville across the river from dowtown would be the area where the gays rub against the blacks...

should interesting....there is already a bit of black versus Mexican violence and I thinbk the Kurds have gotten into it too

folks want to see where unincorporated polyglot leads just have to go to LA

New York City has more people, and is wealthier than it ever has been in terms of median income and real estate values. Even much of Brooklyn and Queens has been gentrified.

What you say may apply to Newark, but does not apply to NYC, Boston, and, to a lesser extent, DC. From where I stand, the urban thuggocracy is being pushed to aging, blue collar inner suburbs, or out to the Poconos/Lehigh Valley, not the city core.

looks like Chicago and NYC are still managing to scare away white people with their socialist policies.

Not really. The affluent whites remain in NYC. Much of the gain in NYC (especially in Manhattan and Queens) has been due to the influx of Asians, many of whom are middle to upper class.

Besides, the minuscule decline in white population (compared to the large white flight of the the 1960s and 1970s) is largely through the attrition of lower middle class Tony Manero and Ralph Kramden types. The whites that move to Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, etc., don't tend to have many kids. However, for the first time since the 1960s, more white babys were born in Manhattan in 2007 than any other race.

From what I recall about Chicago, you had a similar phenomenon, with blue collar whites (who typically had kids) in the bungalow belt continuing their exodus west to exurbia, with blue collar black increasingly moving to the south suburbs, all the way down by Crete and Peotone in many cases. They are being replaced by the Mexicans, with the white gentrifier latte class increasing their presence throughout the north and near west sides (but not bringing/having any children).

Well, I can speak for DC. It has become more white as previous bad parts of town have been gentrified. Mostly because the local leadership (after that crackhead Barry) understood that they needed to encourage development, not punish it. So there are many neighborhoods that within the last 10 years have changed into nice neighborhoods. Now the trick would be to somehow change the school system because as kids reach school age.

Even ice cream became a point of contention: In the past year, a group of mostly white parents took issue with a school tradition of selling ice cream to raise money. They felt the school shouldn't be serving sugary foods to kids, but the break with tradition angered many minority parents who felt the sales were an important source of money and that ice cream is a harmless treat.

Idiotic liberals.

White liberals in Brooklyn would also be shocked that many of their more established Nuyorican neighbors don't recycle either!

The downside to Brooklyn's gentrification is the large influx of tight assed douchebags who hate smoking, womanizing (even if they do it on the down low), junk food, and fighting (when necessary). The Rican's usually don't stand for such sh-t, but are being gentrified out and moving to the Orlando, FL area anyway.

Naw, the elite sends their kids to fancy private schools. The remaining Whites? Many of them are homosexual and therefore do not have kids. Others are liberal and they tend not to reproduce either.

Productive black families are increasingly leaving the city for greener pastures elsewhere.

Productive black families have been leaving places like Chicago for some time, in that case to the south suburbs and to the South (as in Atlanta).

NON-productive blacks take section 8 vouchers and move to garden apartment complexes in ageing areas in the inner suburbs or exurbs.

There has been a trend for the past 15 years of Carribbean immigrants and their children leaving Queens and Brooklyn for South Florida, especially Broward County.

“The ‘Thug Report’ reflects what the rest of the country will have the pleasure to ‘experience’ after the Thug Candidate gets into the Whitey House. They gonna jackup whitey”

No doubt. Plus blacks are gonna get ‘respect’ from other nations as well.
