The Neighborhood Is Mostly Black. The Home Buyers Are Mostly White

This is happening a lot in Washington, DC. Traditionally black neighborhoods being torn down and replaced by high-priced condos, which are bought almost exclusively by whites. Before it was called urban renewal, but the clap back to that was that urban renewal is code for African removal. Hard to argue when the culture of a neighborhood vanishes.

With the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we as a society decided that racial segregation was bad, and trying to demonize people people buying homes in a certain area due to their race was wrong.<p>Especially with families buying from other families in a free exchange, I do not see the downside. The selling family is getting to sell at a much higher price than they would have gotten previously, and the buying family is getting a home that they feel is with the price.<p>* Edit, removed flamebait sentenced.

Good news for the landowners (hopefully some of the displaced people?) It sounds like the price-run up would be nice.
