I didn't know that but at a party on Sunday I heard someone talking about old BR, and how North BR used to be very similar to Metaire. Said it was very nice and suburban, with all your stores and shops right there. Self contained. Then everyone went to newer developments out in east Baton Rouge and other parishes. Similar to how people left NOLA for Mandeville.
Aka white flight. Assholes can't stomach living near brown people and take off for the nearest suburb in town that's 30 miles away. Then people wonder why traffic is so horrendous going into town in the morning, and out of town in the evening.

Why are they "assholes" because they want to escape the inevitable plummeting property values and increasing crime that comes with growing low income infiltration into an area?

I never understand why liberals consider white flight a bad thing.
If i live in a neighborhood and it ripe with rape, murder, aids and other criminal activity, i'm not going to stick it out just to try and show people i'm so tolerant that i'm willing to be murdered to show that. That's 100% stupidity.
And i'm sure you are going to say, "well instead of leaving, try fixing the issue." If it's 1 or 2 houses that are the problem, ok. But if the entire fricking section of a city is just like this, then you are outnumbered, and no amount of liberal tolerance is going to change the crime rates there.
People don't like to live next to murderers and rapists. I know it's a silly thing, but they just don't. So call me a racist a-hole for leaving a warzone to live in a homogenous neighborhood filled with friendly caring families that help each other and generally want to just raise their kids somewhere safe. You go ahead and be tolerant and show the world you're not racists by hanging out with the "thugging it and lovin it" crowd, and good luck avoiding arse rape and murder and God help you if you want to raise kids in those neighborhoods.
You call it white flight, i call it providing a safe living for my family.
And, i'm sure you are one of the same "tolerant" liberals that condemn gentrification, which is simply trying to make the neighborhood better. I never understand why you lefties get so upset over people trying to make a neighborhood better, safer, and economically more profitable. Instead you say that is racist because it is taking away the culture of a neighborhood. Murder and Rape isn't culture. It's a crime.

Can you blame people for wanting to move to a safer area? Look at the murder map posted on page 1 and tell me where you would rather live.
It's not the "brown people" that people are fleeing from, it's the crime. That's why white flight isn't always the correct term because there also are plenty of white trash areas with higher crime and lower property values that I wouldn't live in also.

I'd like to know where the folks in St. Tammany Parish are going to go now that they're being overrun by trashy white people.
