This comes as very little surprise to me. Mainly because I know that Leftist/Regressive/Socialist minded White Democrats are some of THE MOST RACIST, and THE MOST CLASSIST people in America, and they like to keep the riff-raff in their proper place. They have no problem with having the help being priced out of the market, because they dont want to see the help anyway, unless they are cleaning their homes. The second group of people who are extremely RACIST and CLASSIST and who live in these high priced Leftist enclaves are what I call, the African-AmeriKKKan Marxist minded Boughetto folks. These are folks who think of themselves as the Talented Tenthers. These are the folks who drank gallons of the Kool-Aid produced by the Communist Agitator, W.E.B Dubois. The interesting thing is that those Boughetto African-AmeriKKKans are beholden to their Leftist/Regressive/Socialist minded White Democrat masters, and exist at their beck and call...but they secretly hate them. Even more interesting is that those Leftist/Regressive/Socialist minded White Democrats dont actually hate African-AmeriKKKans...because in order to hate them, they would have to see them as worthy to be hated. There is no need for them to hate African-AmeriKKKans...because they feel that those people are beneath them...and nobody hates someone that they feel is beneath them. ~ Unhyphenated America theatlantic/business/archive/2014/10/why-are-liberal-cities-so-unaffordable/382045/ Why Middle-Class Americans Cant Afford to Live in Liberal Cities Blue America has a problem: Even after adjusting for income, left-leaning metros tend to have worse income inequality and less affordable housing. On April 2, 2014, a protester in Oakland, California, mounted a Yahoo bus, climbed to the front of the roof, and vomited onto the top of the windshield. If not the years most persuasive act of dissent, it was certainly one of the most memorable demonstrations in the Bay Area, where residents have marched, blockaded, and retched in protest of San Franciscos economic inequality and unaffordable housing. The citys gaps—between rich and poor, between housing need and housing supply—have been duly catalogued. Even among American tech hubs, San Francisco stands alone with both the most expensive real estate and the fewest new construction permits per unit since 1990. But San Franciscos problem is bigger than San Francisco. Across the country, rich, dense cities are struggling with affordable housing, to the considerable anguish of their middle class families. Among the 100 largest U.S. metros, 63 percent of homes are within reach for a middle-class family, according to Trulia. But among the 20 richest U.S. metros, just 47 percent of homes are affordable, including a national low of 14 percent in San Francisco. The firm defined within reach as a for-sale home with a total monthly payment (including mortgage and taxes) less than 31 percent of the metros median household income. If you line up the countrys 100 richest metros from 1 to 100, household affordability falls as household income rises, even after you consider that middle class families in richer cities have more income. [The graph below considers only the 25 richest US metros to keep city names moderately legible within the computer screen.] The line isnt smooth—and there are exceptions—but the relationship is clear: In general, richer cities have less affordable housing. But theres a second reason why San Franciscos problem is emblematic of a national story. Liberal cities seem to have the worst affordability crises, according to Trulia chief economist Jed Kolko. In a recent article, Kolko divided the largest cities into 32 “red metros where Romney got more votes than Obama in 2012 (e.g. Houston), 40 “light-blue” markets where Obama won by fewer than 20 points (e.g. Austin), and 28 “dark-blue” metros where Obama won by more than 20 points (e.g. L.A., SF, NYC). Although all three housing groups faced similar declines in the recession and similar bounce-backs in the recovery, affordability remains a bigger problem in the bluest cities.
