[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, how is that racist:

Not all black people are poor.  
Not all black neighborhoods are crime ridden
You are not God's gift to a neighborhood or a school.
[b]Choose a neighborhood because of your future neighbors not in spite of them[/b] or choose a different neighborhood.
Seriously.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself.[/quote]

Except for decades people who chose neighborhoods in spite of their neighbors have made serious $$ by doing so, and then patiently waiting.  Do you really expect people to pass that up because someone wrote a cool article about Columbusing? [/quote]

I am the quoted PP. First of all, I have not read any articles about Columbusing.  Which sounds like a really lame pseudo-word.

Secondly, I myself bought in a neighborhood where I am in the minority.  So, I have no problem with buying in a neighborhood where you stick out either because of cultural background or SES.  I'm simply stating that the OP should not buy in a neighborhood in which he holds his neighbors in serious contempt.  His condescending attitude is definitely optional.   And, whether he knows it or not, if the OP buys in a neighborhood where he looks down on his neighbors, he's making a mistake.   I've loved getting to know my neighbors, inviting them into my home, and participating in neighborhood events.  If the OP can't possibly imagine that being possible with his prospective neighbors, then I suspect he needs to look elsewhere.[/quote]
