Two to Hayward.

One to Tracy.

The other think I noticed is that every home that had been African American was sold to Hispanic families...

Doesn't prove anything, only my observation.

A few of my AA contacts moved to NV, a few others to GA.

Skynet was Hispanic!?!?

Uh huh. Well, I'm already a minority in my city: I'm white, and the majority in my city is Asian (mostly Chinese and Filipino). And my life goes on just fine.

Absolutely disingenuous. Haiti is an ideal location for agriculture. In fact, it was once the Caribean's cornucopia of produce. And regarding hillsides, where do you think some of CA's best wine grapes are grown?

Zimbabwe's issues are political [...]

And you've helped make my case. Thank you for that.

Alright then, give me a history lesson.

Hillsides are adequate for grapes and coffee, but not so much for staples such as grains.
Also, its many natural disasters have eroded the topsoil to the point most of what was there is now unfarmable.

And you've helped make my case. Thank you for that.

So you expect the US Constitution to be suspended soon, and current farmers to be kicked off their land?

I have long thought that the real estate in Oakland was too valuable to avoid gentrification.

I just did ... in post #43 ... here, I'll repeat:
"Neither Haiti nor Rhodesia have devolved to their present conditions from having once been developed with intensive modern infrastructure, nor been flourishing centers of sophisticated cultural civilization, agriculture, technology, finance, education, and every type of international innovation."
There. Did you get it this time? In their histories, they were never once great in any comparable sense to California's place today ... not even in relative terms in any time in the past. Haiti is a mountainous island of only about 1/6 the size of California with capacity to grow only a few crops at best in blistering heat and humidity, plagued by earthquakes and hurricanes, and home to zero research or educational institutions of any note whatsoever ... no high-technology ... nothing. Rhodesia is nearly the same size as Calif. in area, but is landlocked, without any ports, but with fairly good agriculture in certain crops, in an acceptably nice climate other than a rainy season that is overpowering ... and once again no world class institutions of technological development. etc etc etc. You must be trolling to pick two such nonsensical, obscure comparisons.

All I see is a statistic about white people leaving California. It would be much more informative if the information included the number of people who came to California only for the jobs in the dotcom or housing boom, and have decided to go back east due to the reality that there is no such thing as easy money, and compare this statistic to the number of long-term white Californians who have left.

I tend to think most of the ones leaving are people from back east returning home.
