I think this comment is ill-conceived. There is no reason this model is exclusive to whites. Northeast Minneapolis in particular is considerably more racially integrated than other satellite urban areas. Here's a great visualization of this fact [1]. If you take a look, you'll notice that there are areas of Minneapolis that are considerably less racially integrated than others. In those cases, again, I do not see a reason why this model is exclusive to whites.
It's more around first world problems. This article is a rich person problem. Only they are so arrogant they think the suburb should fit them. Poor people just struggle.
The white bit is purely about dumb rich white people thinking the world is about them because their hundreds of thousands
dollar morgage weighs them down.
The two billion on 2 dollars per day are mostly not white
So the moral of the story is stop trying to improve your neighborhood because there are more important issues in someone else's life?
I've actually been poor in my life. Like on welfare government cheese Appalachian coal-mining-town-went-busto poor. And for some reason, these people improving their own neighborhood doesn't make me feel bad at all.
