It's time that 'duke of windsor' stop ignoring London's true working class/ middle class nature but instead embrace it.

Power to the people

LOL

London does not ignore it's working class culture. Look at cockneys, music, rap, football.

Thank you for bringing up Oakland(people always make that mistake) because I'm still waiting for someone to tell us the long list of London neighborhoods that are wealthy and have Black majorities, or at least ONE neighborhood like this:
Chabot Park Average Household Income: $123,738







Thus far, you have all been somewhat of a let down.

Really you do have a way of digging yourself into these ridiculous undefendable situations....

You don't need to defend facts dear. I stopped being impressed by the Alpha+++BS about London after I discovered this.

2012 Per Capita GDP
San Francisco & San Jose Metro Areas $84,171
Greater London & SE England $48,689

LOL at tacky mcmansions vs edwardian, victorian and english baroque architecture.

Inner London West has GDP (PPP) per capita of 152,116 constant 2000 USD. That's the highest among TL3 regions in the OECD listing.

Do you know how big Inner London West is? It encompasses central London and more.

You dismiss those pics of London as looking like they could be from anywhere in the world, which is ridiculous by the way, then post a couple of pics of some cookie-cutter McMansions to bolster your argument. And those pictures represent a tiny amount of what you might experience in London. He could have posted images of its great cathedrals, gorgeous green spaces like Richmond or Kew, stately homes, ancient castles, dazzling nightlife, art galleries and museums, etc. Give it up mate, no amount of crap from you is going to change the fact that London has beaten San Francisco into oblivion in this poll.

So does London have areas that are rich and predominantly Black or not?

[pbobcat]

No because black people are more integrated here. Which is a GOOD thing!

Oh really?

BBC News - London letting agents 'refuse black tenants'

If this is what you call 'integration', then I am disappointed.

So London does NOT have any neighborhoods that are rich and predominantly Black. Thank you for confirming that.

On the other hand, I guess our Blacks are not only more upwardly mobile but also spread out into the metro area:

IMAGES FROM MY FLICKR ACCT.

Census Tract 355108 Antioch, Contra Costa County, California(40.5 miles East of Oakland) saw its Black population soar by 144% between 2000-2010 and today 24% of the population of this neighborhood is Black:


Census Tract 253 Vacaville, Solano County, California(47.7 miles Northeast of Oakland) saw its Black population soar by 151% between 2000-2010 and Blacks are now 43% of the population in this neighborhood.

So if black people feel the need to find their own neighbourhoods in SF, why do you think that might be?

oh and thanks for some more boring pictures of boring houses.
