| Academics Claim Single Family Home Neighborhoods Have Legacy of Racism |
| 2021-10-09 |
| [Breitbart] Most Americans want to live in attractive and safe neighborhoods regardless of their ethnic background and most also believe single family homes offer those benefits. But an arm of the left-wing University of California at Berkeley claims these neighborhoods' legacy is racist. The Builder website reported in 2013 that the majority of Americans prefer single family homes, according to a 2011 Community Preference Survey from the National Association of Realtors: Detached, single-family homes are the end goal for the majority of Americans. While 80 percent of the population would prefer to live in a single-family home, seven in ten Americans (70 percent) actually do. Apartment and condo living is only preferred by 8 percent of the population, yet two in 10 Americans (17 percent) live in an apartment or condo. But not just any single-family home will do….Americans also show consensus on certain community factors. 53 percent would like to live in an area that is "away from it all," versus "in the center of it all (34 percent)." The saying "good fences make good neighbors" rings true to the majority of Americans as well. "Privacy from neighbors" was consider somewhat important to 87 percent of the population, while 45 percent considered privacy very important. A more recent report in the City Journal in 2019 showed this is still the case with younger Americans preferring single family homes: |

| #21 "National divorce" is a childish dream by people who don't want to do anything to oppose the fascists. It wouldnt work, because they WON'T let anyone escape them. Stand up to them. Make fun of them. Appeal to the Americans who haven't been brainwashed, just misinformed. Stop surrendering. |

| #18 Beldar, #14, you know good and well the communists will not be satisfied with separation. They want it all and they are absolutely willing to risk bloodshed for it, just like they did in the Russian Civil War. They don't want just America either. They want the whole world. |

| #15 Total garbage. I worked in DC during the riot years as well as Baltimore. Neighbor against neighbor. They continuously attack families. These people need to get a job and most likely doing trash pick ups but of course that is beneath them to do. |

| #14 It's inevitable. Everyone's coming to the same conclusion: we hate these assholes, they hate us, and it's too late baby now it's too late... we just can't live together dontcha feel it too... Below is an excerpt from a proposal by Teddy Roosevelt's great grandson (?), an accomplished US diplomat who has advised countries across Europe on how to break up -- including advising the UK government re Brexit -- on how we should and could feasibly create two countries: - the traditional USA -- no change at all to our institutions --comprising 31 red states - a new political entity enacting the entire left-wing agenda ... a quasi-commie, dictatorial "SSA" (Socialist States of America) formed by the Woke blue states + whatever new states they want to create from D.C., PR etc Here's Theodore Roosevelt Malloch's proposal: "So, put an end to this madness and ugly division. The time has come for the great divorce. Rather than fall into a bloody second civil war, the United States could mediate an amicable but permanent separation. Separation and divorce are surely never pretty, and they have costs attached, but it often becomes necessary when sides are incompatible, or strife persists. Face it, marriages come apart, companies divest, and states, like the former Czechoslovakia, have done likewise, rather peacefully. "Here’s how the U.S. divorce could work, in some grainy detail. "First, we agree to divide into the existing red states or the original United States of America, and the blue states or Socialist States of America. Each of the 50 states plus D.C. would ratify its decision in a binding referendum. If Virginia wanted to stay in the United States of America that would be possible. Or, if Arizona wanted to side with the new Socialists States of America, their own citizens could choose freely. "The red United States of America would keep all the existing institutions, laws, and customs as we know them from the original founding. "The Socialist States of America could, as desired, have a brand-new constitution, make the District of Columbia a full state, and be rid of the First and Second Amendments, if they choose to do so in their new revolutionary and fully woke founding documents. "The traditional USA would keep the stars and stripes (minus some stars, or surely be accused of irredentism) and the “Star Spangled Banner” as its national anthem. ..." |

| #11 So.. Most Americans want to live in Single-family neighbourhoods. Most Americans are white. Therefore: Single Family Neighborhoods are racist. Liberal Logic - It's a whole other reality. |

| #6 Well, to the extent that every suburban neighborhood I have ever lived in or visited lacks the vibrancy of Cabrini-Green, they sort of have a point. Just not the one they think they are making... |

| #5 Based on the amount ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-CAPITALIST, ANTI-OWNERSHIP and ANTI-Etc... comments and accusations made by Liberal Academics. Shouldn't those very Liberal Academics announce that they will stop receiving ALL State and Federal Funding provided and any assistance provided to them by any sources they RANT and vilify? After all we want them to have a clear conscience in what they are doing right? ☺ |

| #3 Follow the money Boomer. I think you'll find big money developers, greedy politicians, and school district attempting to re-populate sagging enrollment numbers. Nothing personal, it's just business. |

| #2 Governor Gavin Newsome waited till after the recall election to remove him from office before signing SB9 which bans single family home zoning in most of California. I believe this is a power grab by state government. The state government should not have the power to overrule municipal zoning laws. I live in a nice single family home city that contracts out for services. The homes are late 1950's track homes for the aerospace industries of the time. But now the homes are averaging 3/4 of a million which is almost 50% higher than the 2008 housing bubble again due to investor speculation. The latest problem is too many cars on the street. It is not easy to have two way traffic with a car or two in front of every home. It used to be during the day one could drive down a residential street with no cars, but now during the pandemic there are lots of cars at all times. Although the homes are zoned as single family, many families are extended with children living at home and there is renting garages etc. Now thanks to Governor Gavin our neighbor or a property investor could sell us out to splitting the lot into two and allowing two dwellings per lot for a quadplex. About 25 years ago they started permitting two stories which makes a terrible neighbor dwarfing your nice little home. I thank God only about a few percent went two story and none near me. But I have had people try to park in front of my home, no thanks! You can be sure Gavin will be running for president 2024 so your little hamlet is next. |
