[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you like [b]white flight suburbs [/b]with nice houses, lots of green spaces, and plenty of convenient, if uncharming, commercial areas, you will like it. I say that as someone who kind of likes those things....[/quote]

what are "white flight suburbs"?[/quote]

supposedly it's for all us white people who are supposedly afraid of non-white people...so we scurry to the burbs to get away from them because we're...so very frightened.  [/quote]

I thought it referred to historically areas that were created when white people left their suburban neighborhoods when black people moved in during the civil rights era and had racial covenants that prevented black people [and sometimes jewish] from moving in?

yall are still doing that in 2022? minus the racial covenants i assume?

wow[/quote]

Covenants weren’t very common in Columbus proper; they were a thing in Bexley and Upper Arlington. White flight in Columbus history is a bit more complicated, especially because it was never really an industrial city and didn’t have a huge job base or anywhere to flee to. Until the 1960s and 70s, Columbus was small, today’s huge suburbs were teeny villages, and the drive from them to even Worthington was 100% farms. Growth of suburbs in the area was more population growth than white flight save for a few areas, and those people went from places like the Hilltop to places like Bexley and UA, or the northern reaches of the Columbus Public School district boundaries rather than immediately out to what were then very rural (undesirable, under services) suburbs and townships. Suburban growth had more to do with agreements about city annexation of unincorporated areas and a complicated tax agreement between Columbus Public Schools, outlying towns and school districts, and the county. This is why you get a lot of weirdness of Dublin address/Worthington schools, Columbus address/Worthington schools, etc. Don’t worry, there was plenty of racist and busing stuff like anywhere else![/quote]
