There's some multi million dollar hoods here in SoCal and they have affordable income apartments right next to them, like in the same neighborhood.  The builders were required to build them.  2 br apartments for 1k, which is beyond affordable down here.  They look well built too.

It sure makes it easier for the servants to there so you can make them work longer hours

They opened DU right after I left. A high school friend is a chef up there, so it’s good to hear that the food is good.

This was 2018ish; I wouldn't be surprised if DU was shut down for Covid-19 to never return.

It's reopened.  My youngest went there recently for his first meeting a month or two ago.

If I can recall this episode it started coming to the forefront over statue graffiti.

Growing up in DFW there are two types of racists. You have the blatant ones who openly hate minorities, spread racist propaganda, etc. But that represents a very small amount of people. The other type of racist is the one who views minorities as helpless but they want others to do the helping. They're the ones with the rainbow sign in their yard that says "no human is illegal, black lives matter, love wins" but they're at the city council meeting opposing the nearby apartment complex rezoning because it will hurt the charm of their neighborhood. They'll tell you they support efforts to help the homeless but goddammit build the shelter away from them.

Sounds like Kessler or Lakewood….and increasingly, Richardson.

No cloak.

Texans want their property value to rise but don’t want to pay taxes on said rise

You gotta give Dallas more credit. There’s also “I don’t hate minorities but I don’t want junior competing against them people in school” racists

A college friend of mine from Dallas settled in The Woodlands after law school. He kept saying he was going to move into Houston just long enough for his sons to get beaten up by some Black kids but he never did. I know deep down he thinks lesser of them for that, lol, but it's his fault.

Property values.

Pretty much this, in the inner burbs.  Also, I don't recall a whole lot of protesting of low-income housing in nice neighborhoods.  What goes on in Dallas is more sophisticated.  The developers don't want the hassle of building near something nice (plus it will devalue their own "nice" properties), they go to the southern sector councilmembers and work out some kind of grift to build in their districts.

The sector from basically downtown to LBJ between HIllcrest and the Tollway, and maybe a little further east and west, and north, has been economically segregated for 75 years and shows no sign of letting up.  It is almost 100% high-end residential.  No apartments, property values far too high to consider a low-income project.  Few, if any, of the inhabitants are "invidiously" racist and most are at least outwardly woke.  There's a kind of noblesse oblige going on there, which can include the Austin NIMBY types, but the reality is that other factors keep them from having to NIMBY.  It's like Tarrytown.

In some of the outer burbs, or redeveloping areas like Kessler Park, the cycle of nice neighborhood, die off/move away leave to the poors, move north goes on, it's less economically segregated and you are more likely to see a spread of views, including some pretty racist stuff, because there is more likely to be new residents, some of whom are rurals raised with those views, and some of whom are more currrent/active white flighters.

In Dallas it's called zoning. Something Houston and other Texas cities have very little of.

It's not an old Dallas money thing either. A lot of Preston Hollow for instance flipped blue after so many liberals from out of state moved into the area, scraped the old neighborhood and rebuilt with stucco McMansions. Most of their children attend private schools.

Is that the most conservative part of Houston?

The Woodlands is the 8th Congressional district which has been Kevin Brady since 1997.  He said that people calling for Trump's impeachment represented inflammatory language that caused the January 6th tourist visitation to the Capital.  The 8th hasn't gone less than 70% republican this century.

I don't think you can attribute the scraping of Preston Hollow to any particular political party, or to out of staters.

The Park Cities has flipped blue, and while there is a militant contingent of Trump idiots, they have been mostly roundly rejected in local elections.

IMO, most out of staters tend to leave liberal places because of their liberal policies.

Very conservative but maybe not the Trumpiest in The Woodlands proper, where it's more country club and corporate. Surrounding backwoods is Trumpy as fuck; Trumpy as anywhere on the planet.

As a South Texan the whole Southlake is a suburb North of Dallas thing is what confuses me.  It's North of Ft Worth or Arlington.

Fair point.  It is mostly in Tarrant County, with a little in Denton.  And while parts of southern Denton and Collin Counties (Carrollton, Richardson, Plano, Lewisville) get called "Dallas" with some frequency, that's pretty rare with the Tarrant County cities.

Kind of like calling Fort Worth or Arlington a "suburb" west of Dallas.

Duncanville laid another complete ass-beating on southlake carroll tonight in the state semis. That’s 3 times in 4 years. Maybe that’s the source of the racism in town. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Another North Shore v Duncanville final just like god intended.  Go Mustangs.

Gainesville played  Southlake Carroll all the time in the 90s. We had a little rivalry going on, of course SLC was still 3A during that time. We were called the n word on the field multiple times. Color me shocked here

I don't Carroll for Southlake.
