RF, i wasnt talking about long island. that was a white flight mecca. im talking about the real inner ring suburbs of NYC … i.e. north jersey
*rob*
Love that house. Much more shiny in person.
Rob,
I grew up in a suburb on Long Island that was populated mostly by Brooklynites fleeing black people moving into their neighborhoods. Now it’s about 50 percent South Asian (Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi).
Yes, there were black communities on Long Island but they were almost entirely black, and the white communities were alnmost entirely white.
quote:
“Region Is Reshaped as Minorities Go to Suburbs”
reverse white flight
section 8
yuppie / golden girls /moonface infestation into the inner cities
minorities looking for better schools and a better life (tho that doesnt seem to be happening because of the lack of resources in the suburbs to deal with the bad few. it only takes a few bad houses on a block to make a neighborhood shitty)
and please note, there have ALWAYS been a large population of minorities in the NYC inner ring suburbs and for the most part that have always been super stable communities. Most of Hudson County has for sooooo long always had a huge hispanic population and has always been a great place to live. They didn’t move in from the projects tho.. problems only occur when projects are dismantled and people in them are given section 8 vouchers to move to the suburbs. it’s not PC to say, but people in the projects while mostly hard working people, still have a ton of bad apples that wreck havoc on one stable non inner city suburban communities, as they do not have the resources to deal with the few bad apples. it’s bit of urban UNrenewal where a lot of cities seem to think, eh, let’s kick them out all out so molly and jake can live a perfect snowflake life. barf. So, you can still see how racism really does rear it’s ugly head and just how segregated people are.

CGar, most of us cant afford whole food and these other primo retail outlets like you BoCoCa + BK Heights residents
Mr. B., will you be covering this story in the Times?
Region Is Reshaped as Minorities Go to Suburbs

The American Community Survey offered a snapshot of a decade of racial and ethnic changes in the New York area.
