Or do you just get bugged when you find yourself in the uncomfortable position of being in the minorty in your neighborhood? I remember a group of good ole boys in the South who operated under the same credo: We were here first...we built this place....get out and get your own place..... It was a grand old club.....or Klan, I mean....yes, it was definitely a Klan....

No, I've extrapolated from one sign and the effort to create enclaves (as previously mentioned) that there is a desire to create said enclaves and gay ghettos where solidarity is at the fore. Those things, in conjunction with my gay phone book, gay neighborhood council, and other things result in my belief that there is an effort to create an environment where alternative political thought is discouraged. If you would focus on the point more and less on trying to find opportunities to spout pre-prepared opinions, you migh actually know what's going on. Instead, you wanted to give me a lecture on housing prices gleaned from an article about gentrification. Now, seeing that your article and use of an "intellectual" term does not suffice for the board combat you seek, you want to create a situation about Mexican's and dogs. Let me guess, you have an article on that subject too. In that article, are you the dog or the mexican? Or maybe you want to talk about black people and driving. I can only assume the goal of this is to talk about my car. Either way, let's talk about the point from the first post. Is it appropriate to create enclaves of unified political thought by alienating and attacking those who don't agree with you? I contend that it isn't appropriate. I also contend that in the case of minority groups it is considered more appropriate due to what I name the Robin Hood syndrome. If you have a thought on that topic, by all means, respond. If instead you want to talk about the gentrification of dogs by black people driving mexican made cars, someone else will have to respond because I can't keep up with you in your area of expertise.

Now I don't have any idea what you're talking about. I don't live in Marmalade.

I think anyone would agree that the neighborhood was populated by LDS families originally, starting in the early 1900s. I think everyone would agree it is close to downtown. As a result, I think everyone would agree the neighborhood was created by them and has remained vibrant ever since and as a result, your gentrification argument is contrived and foolish.

Here is an article about Marmalade. I guess it's just a coincidence that the featured example is of a person who bought a boarded up house and renovated it. Just a coincidence. No, there is no gentrification going on in the Marmalade district.
