They are and have been, in droves, since the early 2000s. The drives have only grown in size in recent years.

Before you tout and let San Antonio beat it's chest...I have to remind you San Antonio also is in the top 10 in the "most segregated cities in America" when it comes to living standards/inequality and that is just down right EMBARRASSING which brings down to earth your post. Sorry.

Edit: Just read about this earlier this year looks like San Antonio crawled out of the top 10 but it still in some lists.

Default Ah, Baloney I say,

Live and Let Live is what I say. Whatever floats your boat.
San Antonio will not change overnight. Embarrassed by the City? There are far worse places to live.
This City is old but young with a long way to go yet? Still growing strong.
With a bit of the old south still clinging. The formula works. Don't try to hold it back or bring it down to earth. Texas is not about to collapse.
This inequality has existed for centuries here only now it is on a much more colossal scale.
Being built, brick by brick.

As I told my old lawyer one time, " When I lived in South Texas I was discriminated against by white people."
" I had to move to Detroit to learn what is was like to be discriminated against by black people."

The difference is little. It happens.

I don't need some journalism piece to tell me how segregated SA is. Anyone who has lived here long enough and been to all areas can tell how segregated it is here. Anyone who says other wise is just part of the SA cheerleader crowd.

Default Non-Segregation,

San Antonio is not segregated at all. Economically segregated- yes, sure. Poor or lower middle income live in demarcated areas. It is this way everyplace. Southsiders are white and brown. Northsiders are black white and brown.
The difference between economically and racially segregated is immense and the cause for the passage equal rights laws passed by LBJ and whichMartin Luther King Jr. died for in the sixties.
With an education or entrepreneurship or any other means of improving oneself - the very promise of America- one can live anywhere within the city. OR outside of it. Unsegregated.

From your article.

Quote:
For the past three decades, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and Miami, have ranked among the nation’s fastest-growing large metropolitan areas, according to Pew, “fueled in part by an influx of low-skill, low-wage immigrants from south of the border and in part by an influx of high-skill, high-wage workers and well-to-do retirees. These dual migration streams could well have contributed to a rise in residential segregation by income.”
Makes sense to me.

Texas in general is very segregated as income status.

Culturally, not bad (considering / comparing our neighbors in several states nearby!)

Income disparity will; continue to grow. (as it is even in the cities with $15/ hr minimum wage)

Problems are DEEP and wide. SA is not significantly BAD. AFAIK... I have been in MUCH worse (often living overseas as a VERY UNPROTECTED minority)
