[quote=Anonymous]I looked at the racial makeup of the schools, as I didn't want my kids to be at a school dominated by one minority. All elementary schools EOTP at the time were 95%+ black, so we moved WOTP. While I did not look up the demographics of the neighborhoods we were considering, I knew I did not want to move into a predominantly black or gentrifying neighborhood because I was afraid I might be seen as an intruder. I spent a few years in East Berlin in the 90s and did not like the feeling of being a "gentrifier". Not for one second though would I worry about any African-Americans who move to my neighborhood. If they buy here, they are presumably educated and fairly successful and it would never occur to me to worry about them bringing down property values. I'm from Europe FWIW.[/quote]
