Besides the no blacks then, the convertible drivers could be Snowflakes like my wife, DIL and some of their friends.
They love convertibles.
Like everywhere else this is all about income.
Then, throw incredible demand and minimal supply due to very restrictive building codes in those counties, driving up the costs if the homes are even available.
I had two there, myself, Chrysler LeBarons. They just lost their appeal, for some reason, when I moved back to Texas.
My wife had two convertibles out here.
One was a Malibu and her second one was a beautiful 68 Red and White Camaro Convertible with the medium V8 and a stick shift.
She broke her wrist and was not able to shift gears, so she sold her Camaro. It was like putting a child up for adoption. She kept turning down families with teen agers because of what they could do to it.
She finally sold it to a patient. He kept it in a garage except during nice weekends. She even had visitation rights.
Funny story. Thanks.
Those laws were overturned in a 1948 Supreme Court decision.
And the Civil War was over in the 1860s but Jim Crow was very much alive for many decades after.
My mother bought a home in Daly City's Westlake neighborhood in 1971, and the neighborhood association bylaws clearly stated that it was forbidden to sell to non-whites. If laws were overturned in 1948, why were they still being printed and used in the 1970s? We asked the agent about the wording, and she said they haven't enforced it lately. In 1971. The whole neighborhood was white, and asians began buying into the neighborhood within the next ten years. But not the ten years prior. Asians were pretty much limited to San Francisco and restricted from movement elsewhere before the 1960s.
building codes as a result of space shortage
