Means the smart folks moved out to the suburbs and what's left voted
Democrat. Not hard to figure out. John H Ah yes, Suburbia. Where everybody lives on a dead end street. Suburbanities endure private "covenants" requiring them to conform to the neighbors, so that when it is time to paint the cloned house (with the cloned landscaping) any thought of individual expression is squelched in favor of the "public good." Suburbia, the fantasy consumption neighborhood where the economy produces nothing and the SUV is a god. Suburbia is a land of economic imperialism- all wealth and resources in Suburbia are extracted from some remote area (the city to which all commute). Suburbia, the primarily lilly white land of cultural conformity. It's no wonder you guys in Suburbia vote Republican, the party reflects the values to which you subscribe in everyday life. |

Suburbia, the primarily lilly white land of cultural conformity. I don't know what community you live in, but suburbia is no longer lilly white, you have every ethnic group imaginable in suburbia. People with families are moving to suburbia, because so many of the inner city schools suck. What makes you think minorities do not want a safe environment for their children to learn? If you visited the school districts in suburbia, you would be surprised how diverse they are. |

If you visited the school districts in suburbia, you would be surprised how
diverse they are. Seems that not all that long ago we had an OT post here from a guy who lives in Suburbia. As I recall, he was outraged that "Mexicans" were living in a house in his neighborhood, and he was all but completely convinced they had to be up to no good in order to afford the payments. As I recall, the plaintiff went so far as to check property records with the county to see whether the property was registered to somebody with a Mexican sounding surname. Ain't as integrated as you think, but it is somewhat. See the word "primarily" in my observation. The more expensive, cutting edge suburban neighborhoods will present an ethnic reflection of the way wealth is held in the US. Those "suburban" neighborhoods closer to town, built 25-30 years ago, do seem to be slightly more diverse. |

Had nothing to do with their country of origin, had to do with their
habits, and the number of people and cars for one house and yard. Get off your high horse, Chuck, it's not becoming. Was that you? I remembered the incident, but not the party involved. My horse has a question: If it wasn't about ethnicity, why were the people described with an ethnic label? When my neighbor does something I wish he hadn't done, I don't say "My Anglo Saxon Catholic nieghbor did this or that..........." |

I can not understand your point. Do you have a problem with people buying
expensive homes or the fact that not everyone can afford expensive homes? In the under $200,000 home, which is above the national average (I know the west coast is expensive as hell), you will find a large percent to be owned by non whites. Do you have a problem with people buying homes based upon their financial situation or based upon the reputation of the schools? Do you have a problem with people who move into the suburbs? As far as your other comment, most communities, apartments, condos and cities in both the inner city and suburbs will have zoning laws governing how property can be used. I know if I had a neighbor who did not mow his law, had turned his front law into a parking lot, had trash all over his property, I would be upset, and it would not matter what their ethnic background was. I would contact the local government as see if they were violating any laws, wouldn't you? "Gould 0738" wrote in message ...
