Denial of what? I didn't say ANYTHING about the future - I just posited my observations about the NOW and note I said "MOST" - yeah, we've already had "incidents" of petty crime AND the outright claims of racism against the owner which almost never happened in the 10 previous years I was here.
I grew up elsewhere in what was once a strong white, middle/lower class suburb that's gentrified into a Somali warzone for almost the same reasons (and the city putting a block of section 8 apartments all around the area didn't help).
I am WELL aware of what's coming, fortunately, A> I rent and B> the town is still majority white (and known as such).
YES, I'm planning on moving - but the Biden economy is killing me for home ownership. I've got enough to cover the downpayment but houses here avg 500k which is a $3000/month payment due to the interest rates taking off, which is almost TRIPLE my current rent!
In fact I'm looking at moving out another county to the north, problem THERE is that that starts to butt up against another nearby almost blue city where black population is increasing to the SOUTH. We're getting phalanxed...
Your neighborhood is about to turn into shut and you’re in denial.
