Reply to comment by TheAJx in NYC is more ethnically diverse, less racially segregated, report finds by Ice_Business

So you think it’s okay that transplants move into a neighborhood and consciously not acknowledge their neighbors or even try to get to know anyone from the community?

The complaints about white flight were real. People moved away because they didn’t want to integrate, not because they were being priced out or couldn’t afford to live there anymore.

People should generally try to get to know their neighbors, of course. But that shouldn't be a precursor to getting to live somewhere. People need a place to live. The same comments you make about "transplants" not acknowledging their neighbors is the same one that white suburbanites make when minorities, immigrants or low-income people move into their neighborhoods. It's bullshit.
