Wow! I am a well-educated, upper SES black person. I didn’t realize that my blackness automatically made me cool and extroverted, and that my family's HHI made us acceptable to wipipo. Neat!

True, but that could be said of other races.

No.
Rich whites and rich Jews are worse neighbors than middle class jews and middle class whites.
Same with Asians.

I never thought I'd say this, but please bring Marion back, please!
ok, but the people moving into Rockville are all professionals. We have lawyers, doctors, scientists, IT professionals in my neighborhood. Several AA lawyers, Asian Americans, etc... I live here and see who my neighbors are. Where do you live that you think you know who's moving in/out of Rockville?
No they are NOT all professionals. You are dillusional.
? The ones in my neighborhood are. You are ignorant.

In MoCo its occurring widely in Silver Spring, Gaithersburg and Germantown. People in Bethesda, Potomac, western Rockville and other areas west of 355 don't notice because this is where the whites are fleeing to from those areas. You can see it in the wide capacity gaps between ES schools in Potomac and North Potomac. The high schools should be empty because of the low ES enrollment but they are always at capacity because people move from the bad areas to get into good schools for high school. Its driven by poverty as the poor are pushed further east and north. As property values drop in those areas more of the small SFH become poorly managed rentals attracting too many people. Montgomery Village has gotten very bad over the past 10 years. Its not about the racial dynamic but about the poverty which brings along poorly maintained properties, crime and dropping school scores. No one of any race wants to live in that environment but the poor have fewer choices.

The whole liberal formula is higher and highers taxes and more services so if you aren't at least upper middle class or poor it doesn't make sense to stay here
Not only that but DC public schools are trash so the upper middle and upper class can afford to pay to go to privates but the poor get stuck in terrible schools. The actual middle class in DC is scrambling to get their kids into a decent charter school. And you pay $500k, $750k+ per home for the privilege of dealing with that $*** show of mismanagement. No thanks. I will stick to NoVa.
