If the white people that are fleeing are whiny Republicans, then good riddance.[/quote]

The people most anxious to live in a lily-white neighborhood and send their kids to lily-white schools are... wealthy liberal Democrats.[/quote]

YES.  Look at Arlington.[/quote]

It didn’t make the naughty list.[/quote]

Nothing to "flee" from in arlington. it's already super white[/quote]

Take a look at the Columbia Pike corridor. It looks like Rt 1, Alexandria there.[/quote]

No it doesn’t. Rt 1 is mostly African Americans, particularly around Gum Springs.

Columbia Pike is divided into three parts:  the Pentagon to Glebe Rd once had African Americans but houses in Arlington View are now being sold to whites and the Carver Housing co-op was replaced by $8-$1m townhouses.  The apartment buildings have a smattering of races but older condos like Arlington  Village and the Commons and newer places near Tower Park are heavily white.   The small area around the Ethiopian Community Developmemt Council has white gentrification

Between Glebe Rd and Four Mile Run, the older Barcroft Apartments are a smattering of Hispanics and refugees from mostly middle eastern countries.  Frederick Courts is also a mixed bag  Same for the small apartment buildings on the north side of the Pike.  The newer townhouses behind the 7-11 and London Town are very mixed and are clinging to the hope that the new Harris-Teeter development at George Mason Dr will save them.

From Four Mile to Fairfax County at Baileys Crissroads is the APAH dumping grounds. If you want a comparison to Alexandria, think iof The Berg 30 years ago. That’s what Arlington  County had developed to assuage its liberal guilt. [/quote]
