In much the same way that hypocritical Democratic leaders found ways to avoid their own Covid-19 lockdowns – attending lavish celebrations without masking up, even sneaking off to the salon for a blow-out – it’s probably safe to predict they will be none too pleased to see their affluent neighborhoods ghettoized in the name of equity, diversity or whatever. In fact, amid all this hypocrisy it may seem less surprising that the snobbish liberal suburbs – think of places like Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Seattle where the booming IT industry has priced millions of average folks out of the housing market and into tent cities and trailer parks – tend to be more inhospitable to minority groups than the so-called ‘racist’ conservative communities. As these liberal communities got richer, they issued – surprise, surprise – fewer new housing permits. Now how will these elitist residents react to a construction team arriving one sunny morning to begin clearing space for a multifamily high-rise, possibly even one that will block their spectacular ocean-front view?
