    The elites on the West Coast are more liberal than progressive. That is why religiosity is so low in the West.

    The wealth comes from the computer, technology and software companies. The only reason that you are able to come here and complain about liberals and progressives is because liberals created the technology for you to be able to do so. You should be thanking liberals for dragging you into modernity.

    My point is that money is causing people to live in the neighborhood that goes with their achieved social economic ladder. You don't see Eddie Murphy living in the ghetto of NYC where he came from. Neighborhoods don't do mixed housing yet for all walks of life, yet. And here you are jawdropping that the liberale ELITE live in ELTIE neighborhoods lol

    Do you even read what I type? Because every single time you claim I say something that I didn't.

    Money is not CAUSING people to live in a certain area. It gives them the ability to live in a certain area. They still choose to live there. Also, stop acting like the only alternative is the ghetto. I haven't claimed, at all, that they should be choosing the ghetto.

    My position is the same and you have yet to address it (because you can't). Why preach to us the importance of diversity and then CHOOSE to live in an area that is exactly the opposite of what you say is so important? And once again, no, the ghetto isn't the only alternative. If diversity is so important, why then, when you have the means to live anywhere, would you choose an all white area?

    You may at this time, yet again, avoid addressing my real point and go off on another tangent about things I didn't say.

    You failed to read the article.
    The article says clearly that your average poor, working to middle class citizen is unable to afford a house next to the elite.
    The diversity of housing is just not there. That diversity is the policy being preached.

    Your idea that the elite, when there is a lack of low/average housing next to high end housing, should than move into low/average housing is just stupid and childish.

    I never claimed anything of the sort. I never even hinted at what you claim is 'my idea'. You seem to be implying that all nice neighborhoods are all white. It isn't true and that's where your argument falls apart.

    I am loving the personal insults though.....keep those coming. Not that we don't all know how you are, but it's nice to see it put in text.

    It's mostly white, since white people simply earn more than black people on average.
    That's not a big mystery. But you somehow manage to think all is equal.

    And it's not me who claims what you just posted. It's the freaking ARTICLE itself. It makes a link to being well off and being white by saying:
    However, many of California’s major business and political leaders live in affluent, overwhelmingly white communities wholly unrepresentative of the state’s considerable diversity, which largely appear inaccessible to the state’s poor, working and middle-class through sky-high price barriers to entry and costs of living.


    I don't think you ever raid the article.

    Wow. It doesn't say that at all. It just says they live in affluent, mostly white communities. It doesn't in any way claim that all affluent communities are white.

    My premise still stands and is 100% correct. The left preaches diversity and then actively avoids it.

    It's not my problem that you think the articles says something it doesn't.

    And? Who the heck gives the slightest care what Media Bias Fact Check has to say about anything? They are a clown car operation made up of biased individuals that target conservative and Christian websites for critical ratings. There is nothing fair about them. There is nothing objective about them.

    It says they are soo white, and above average white, because the diverse group can not afford it.
    And you're were claiming money doesn't play a roll in it. You're wrong.

    The right wingers are just irrational to make a point out of this. A guy like Bill Gates aint going to live next to Joe the Plumber in a diverse neighborhood because non white people can not afford to live in high end neighborhoods. To think he should be doing that, is beyond odd. Far beyond odd. That's absolute bad crap flat earth crazy crap. lol

    For the last time, money does not force you to live anywhere. It does not force you to live in an all white neighborhood. Now, stop interpreting that as me claiming that they must live in the ghetto. There are diverse neighborhoods that are nowhere near poor.

    To the bolded part: Again, I am NOT claiming this. I'm not responding to you anymore if you insist on acting as if I'm saying something I'm not. When you have to grossly twist or flat out misinterpret what I say just to make a point, then you have no point.

    To the underlined part: And yea, non white people can afford to live in high end neighborhoods if they have money.....and plenty of them do. Your insinuation that minority = poor is pathetically racist. But, seeing a lefty act as if all minorities are poor is normal.

    I'm not calling that Joe the Plumber is living in a ghetto. I am saying a guy like Bill Gates simply won't be moving in some middle class suburb, when the high end housing is "too white" to be considered diverse. That's still something that goes clear over your head.


    The bold part.
    The article says that's not the case.
    I quoted that!

    That's a personal attack. The article says that high end is not in reach enough non white people. And you're unable to dispute that racist REALITY.

    The article says .... "which largely appear inaccessible to the state’s poor, working and middle-class through sky-high price barriers to entry and costs of living." Saying it aint absolutely so. So good for you to find the odd one out. Doesn't put a dent that it's largely so.

    And I don't think you ever read the article.
    Seems you got triggered about the wealthy libs and got jealous.

    And the statement you quoted did not mention race....yet you did....gee I wonder why.

    You are still pushing poor = minority and rich = white. That is false. That I named only 1 doesn't mean there is only 1. You get that right?
