"You're right, Lakeview is a blighted hellscape, and not a rich white neighborhood"

- tptacek 4y agoYou got me again; you're right, it's not a "white neighborhood". It's just a "not Black" neighborhood. You get that I've, like, been to Lakeview a bunch, right? Like, I used to live there? My favorite bar in the world is there? I never know, when I'm talking to people on HN, if Chicago is an abstraction to them and they're just trying to pull facts out of Google or whatever.
