Trust me, no one is blaming Bush for creating a city that lots of people want to move to… The market would not allow a price of a million dollars for a shack if there were not people willing to pay it in order to move there.

Sorry, but many of the Blacks in these communities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) DO own property.

Of course I’m not saying ALL black people don’t own… My point is MOST in these rising price neigborhoods don’t. Which is why they are not benefiting from the price rise.

None of those programs are goals of liberals, or Liberalism. In fact, it can be argued universal health care, tax credits, and a ‘living’ wage are neither liberal nor conservative in theory, but pragmatic solutions to the problems associated with a gentrified metropolitan area — as is San Francisco.

Ummm, its the liberals who are complaining about it…unless Newsom has suddenly turned conservative and I didn’t get the memo.

It doesn’t. However, they are all stated goals of liberals who feel that these things are the sign of a ‘properly’ engineered society. When it doesn’t work—IT’S BUSH’S FAULT!

The problem with blacks in these neighborhoods is that many blacks historically and currently don’t own ****

Sorry, but many of the Blacks in these communities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) DO own property. The problem comes with folks who don’t know how to take care of what they have/had. Couple that with government officials that keep getting elected for doing squat and you have the mess that many of these cities are finding themselves in today.
