My parents property in Washington state was starting to get “wetlands-like” in a one acre area. They quietly had it filled in.

These are the same parents that, when they had a home available for rent in the 1960’s told me that if someone called who sounded black, I was to say it was already rented. I was in 6th grade at the time and “aware enough toask them why. They said, and I paraphrase: If we get deadbeat white tenants, we can kick them out, but if we get deadbeat black tenants we’re stuck with them.

It is funny how the government controls the activity of its citizens in so many “unintended consequences” sort of ways.

had to live up in MA and was talking to a landlord who told me that he will not put an AD in the paper. I asked why and he said that if he gets a white person renting and they don 't pay or smash the place up he can get rid of them but if they're a minority who does the same then he is stuck with them and stuck with what ever special group they get to go after him. Weird how MA is east coast and you were on the west coast and especially as MA is supposed to be very open.
