[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've basically stopped caring about residential segregation and I'm black.  I'm more focused on making sure there are jobs and public areas where people are drawn together from their various segregated neighborhoods.  Most people are just weak and only feel safe living among people who look like them.[/quote]

This reminded me of an interesting model on how hard fighting housing segregation is.  There are a couple of interactive models you can play with.  I found it to be interesting and it has a hopeful model at the end of what how even a few people who actively choose a diverse neighborhood can help. http://ncase.me/polygons/   [/quote]

Oh cool thanks.  I'm the black PP.  To be clear, I still personally prefer to live in a diverse area but have just given up on expecting too many others to.  Also, I'm not sure which way my own choices cut -- I moved from a more Hispanic and black area of Silver Spring to a more Asian and white area of Rockville (though still definitely some Hispanics and blacks here -- it's not Potomac), but I guess it doesn't count as flight when I do it because I just add a black person wherever I move.[/quote]
