That's what happens when you overextend yourself with an investment property, have horrible credit, waste money on traffic tickets, and "inadvertently" charge personal expenses on GOP credit card.

He bought the house when he was doing well. It's one of the more expensive homes in the neighborhood; he chose that neighborhood; he grew up nearby.
For many affluent White liberals, "blacks and browns" are simply the targets of liberal largesse. I guess this is better than scorn, suspicion, or aloof indifference; but they still for the most part segregate themselves from the recipients of their largesse socially and/or geographically.
Many areas near NYC are well below 50% white, but the Clintons decided to live in Chappaqua which is 91% white and ranks 42nd in median household income. Why do they avoid living near less wealthy and minorities when their speeches would suggest otherwise?
Maybe they'd prefer more space and privacy in light of how well known they are.
Even if they lived in an area with a lower % of whites than Chappaqua, that means nothing. It doesn't mean they think any more or less of people who are not white.
There are many reasons to criticize the Clintons -- this isn't one of them.
LOL I do live in a very diverse neighborhood. Would rather live in a whiter area, though. I'm honest about that. You can bet the Clintons wouldn't admit that. They could easily have rented a place in the city at Trump Tower and nobody would blame them, but they did some kind of laser search for the whitest area around where they could avoid NYC tax too.
Yeah, ya know, let's be honest here, I am the same way. For 3 years I had to live in a pretty much black and Hispanic community as a condition of employment, and I wasn't really all that nuts about it. Our cultures were just too different and our priorities WAY different.
By the same token, I bet a black family would not be very happy in a predominately white town. Humans are just more comfortable with people of similar interests, backgrounds, and cultures.
Whites get more liberal the farther away they are from non-whites, and less liberal the closer they are to non-whites.
Consider how Bernie is doing.
He is more liberal than Hillary, and he is doing best in the states with the fewest non-whites.
Basically, we have a situation where whites in the whitest areas of the country are telling other whites that they have to be cool with illegal immigration, unvetted Muslim immigration, and affirmative action.
Of course, they themselves don't have to deal with any of that.
Look, Billy Boy grew up in a part of the US where, to this day, there is a clear invisible definite racial line separating white from black folks. Of course, white folks will tell you otherwise, but demographic maps speak volumes.
Sooooooo, in essence, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Bill wants to live in a county that resembles the racial makeup of his beloved Little Rock.
