Explaining Kansas City White Flight Redux

Dead Tree Media attempts to talk race and real estate in a manner that won't offend or provide much insight into what people really think: As whites flock to Kansas City, blacks pick the suburbs

  1. Not seeing the "swap" as measured in Yael's rendition here. Is this chamber puffed?
    All those inner burbs got more blacks (and other nonwhites) lately, but not many in far suburban and pricier areas. Blacks moved from the core to mostly apartments, smaller homes and shared homes in farther burbs.
    In my own very large family, the younger have not stayed in inner burbs or cities past college. Seems more millenials love SoJoCo more than any other. Hardly ever empty homes there resale or new, and building more $250K and up "starters" and 3% interest helps! Liberty is hot now. Basehor and semi rural Leav. is growing. Strawberry Hill's looking full, but a third of the dumps finally got demolished and only a few rebuilt.

  2. Only reason the black population is going down is they are killing each other.

  4. Yael mentions "many still-viable" neighborhoods in KCMO. He must know something nobody else knows.

  7. In KCMO, hipsters are moving downtown, blacks who have any interest in their kids' education or living in safe neighborhoods are heading for the suburbs, and whites with any sense and actual jobs are buying into new sub-divisions north of the river.
    And all of the percentages of change are small, but appear large given the population of only 464,000.
    Fun with statistics is Yael's claim to fame.
    And the topics of his most dishonest columns.

  8. Must be a bitch for all those trailer park queens to move to the city for $15.00 and hour just to find out they are screwed.

  9. Ive noticed an uptick in blacks in the suburbs. Mainly because of the sorry state of KCMOSD schools.

  10. Blacks are definitely moving to the burbs and hood rats are spending more time out in the burbs as well since it's there's more for them to rob.

  11. 10:21, my most recent information is he lives in Raytown, which is not a Kansas City neighborhood. Has he relocated to KC?
