Someone forgot to tell this idiot that there are probably more Indians and Chinese living in Silicon Valley than Whites.
Blacks can’t afford to live there unless they make 250k/year
Now, -the main difference is evident by the ever increasing area depicted by the daily published POO-POO map.
Many blacks have left for friendlier and more affordable climes, as are more and more of the whites. Visit the Bay Area and you’ll find suburbs that are now over 30 percent people from Communist China, some now approaching or over 50%
not much diversity that, unless you count the 300 different Chinese national groups as diversity ...(that no American knows about anyway)
This article wouldn’t surprise me, I guess.
Marin County has always struck me (from afar) as NIMBY-land.
Family, income, job and home more than “skin color” or ethnicity are driving factors in where most people live. If people can get the jobs, income and home they want living near where other family members live, they will. To the extent that that works out, it tends to keep those of a similar demographic living nearer more than further from each other. Call it “segregation” if you want, or call it “feeling comfortable” with folks you are familiar with. Is that “racist”? No.
You have no obligation to meet a utopian statistic of “diversity”.
The true goal of that reach for “diversity” is to gradually ELIMINATE ALL diversity, until there are no differences in appearence or values, just one mono-culture of uniformity and sameness.
Like everywhere else this is all about income.
A studio apartment in Palo Alto goes for $3,500 per month.
Minimum.
Highest in the nation.
Does it include roof & windows?
The street poppers seem well integrated.
Palo Alto more expensive than SF? Hard to believe.
The author is actually correct. A lot of this had to do with community and housing association bylaws that forbid selling to non-caucasians outside of San Francisco and Oakland. After the civil rights law changes in the 1960s, minorities began moving into areas that still had these bylaws in place, which were now ignored. Many of those bylaws still existed into the 1970s before they were removed. Daly City's Westlake neighborhood (borders San Francisco) still had the bylaws forbidding non-whites in the 1970s, when asians began moving into the area. Now it's mostly Filipino.
East Palo Alto is the poor side with million-dollar homes, the west side Palo Alto is ritzy and expensive with very multi-million-dollar homes.
A really invalid study unless the authors meant to point out that as cities become more liberal, they became more segregated
“Meanwhile, Marin, Santa Clara, Sonoma and Napa counties had relatively large increases in segregation.”
40 years ago Marin County was too expensive for middle income and basic minorities to buy a home or rent. It is worse now.
Santa Clara aka Sillycon valley in the past 2 decades has become one of the most expensive places in California to buy or rent a home. Again most middle class/average minority families could not afford to live there.
Sonoma and Napa have been playing catch up with Marin and the Valley, and in the past two years they have caught up, in housing costs.
According to this flawed study, those four counties are more segregated. If minorities can’t afford to move into those 4 counties due to weekly increasing housing costs:
That is not segregation! That is supply and demand.
What the hell this race even mean anymore ?
Libs just need to stick it where the sun don’t shine
I live in Fairfax the heart of Marin County
It’s very very white yes
Am I famous saying is “hey! white people are diverse too! “
I worked in Santa Clara from ‘87 to ‘97. Even then, there were no blacks to be seen. But if you watched a major road, for every 8 cars, you’d see at least one convertible.
According the Wikipedia, the African-American percentage of the population of the city of San Francisco is less than half what it was in 1970.
