The Neighborhood Is Mostly Black. The Home Buyers Are Mostly White
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y agoWith the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we as a society decided that racial segregation was bad, and trying to demonize people people buying homes in a certain area due to their race was wrong. Especially with families buying from other families in a free exchange, I do not see the downside. The selling family is getting to sell at a much higher price than they would have gotten previously, and the buying family is getting a home that they feel is with the price. * Edit, removed flamebait sentenced.

- sctb 7y ago> If you exchanged the races, this articles seems like it could have been written by a Klansman. This counts as flamebait because it doesn't teach us anything substantive and there's no question as to its flaminess. Could you please leave out this sort of thing? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 7y agoThanks. Removed the problematic sentence.
- mises 7y agoThank you for saying this. Not okay to tell some one he ought not live somewhere because of his race. This is true regardless of what that race may be. Also, people think there are no poor whites? Go to West Virginia.
- Simulacra 7y agoThis is happening a lot in Washington, DC. Traditionally black neighborhoods being torn down and replaced by high-priced condos, which are bought almost exclusively by whites. Before it was called urban renewal, but the clap back to that was that urban renewal is code for African removal. Hard to argue when the culture of a neighborhood vanishes.

- RickJWagner 7y agoGood news for the landowners (hopefully some of the displaced people?) It sounds like the price-run up would be nice.
