it’s easy to find the most segregated neighborhoods. just look to where the wealthy white liberals live. these include your beloved politicians and celebrities
Nyc, Manhattan specifically, is incredible integrated. Especially after the last mayor and all the low and moderate income housing units mixed in with market rate built over the last few years. And I am talking about buildings, not just neighborhoods.
I could find the stats but I think you would be surprised.
Rich living next to poor is not unusual in nyc.
You have low income housing in some of the wealthiest neighborhoods because when the neighborhoods gentrified, they didn’t get rid of the huge developments they had existed from the mid 1900s.
And as Brooklyn is now just as expensive as Manhattan, it’s even more the case. Multi million dollar apartments next to section 8 housing. - on the same block.
Not surprising. This is human nature. Diversity results from economics. Everybody flocks to the work and money. Once money is obtained, everybody wants to be with like people. This is simply human nature. You are not a racist just because you feel comfortable with like people, which goes way beyond ethicity. We like to not only be with people who look like us, but also act and think like us, and feel comfortable with. I would rather live near a black doctor or Hispanic CPA than a white Marxist professor from Berkeley California. It is not just about ethnicity.
Well Toronto is classified as the most multicultural city in North America and the safest major city in North America too. However Toronto is a expensive city to live in too.
Sure Canada has it's problems but one thing I have discovered by Canadians is the lack beliefs about the inferiority of other peoples. It is different in the USA, as there is still a common belief that certain people are inferior. Sure there are exceptions but this thing I have noticed between Canadians and Americans I have interacted with.
It’s easy for Canadians like you to preach about integration when your country is extremely safe and your “diversity” does not include many blacks, which commit most of the crime in the U.S.

NYC is very segregated and one of the most segregated in the country. It is also the most segregated in terms of schools.
Yeah, people tend to want to live near people that are like them and share their values and many blacks and Hispanics make poor decisions in life that lead to problems. That's not surprising at all. Also, people need to seriously stop using the term "Latinx", it's stupid and unnecessary.
The upsurge in crime the last few years isn't helping. The BLM riots hurt, too. Then crazy mayors in NY, Chicago, SF, LA, Baltimore, and Atlanta made people not want to live in places run by people like that. A lot of minor cities followed the same path.
This resegregation isn't racist. It's the rational response of people who don't want to expose themselves to crime, filth, and degradation.

You make the mistake of walking around Manhattan, seeing the other faces walking around and thinking they actually live in Manhattan.

I work in NYC as an inspector, and im also from NYC. I'm sorry to break it to you. Nyc is one of the nation's most segregated cities racially and economically. Yeah you might see a sprinkle of blacks and asians in Manhattan liberal waspy or Jewish elite neighborhoods, but that does not mean integration. Also neighborhoods in NYC are also divided up by politics too. People want to live around their own kind. Even in Queens their is a middle class black that has a higher income bracket than many white neighborhoods in NYC.
