TheNiche Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Interesting stuff. It begs the question, what exogenous factors go into the making of neighborhoods with extremely strong political affiliations. Its also curious how West U seems so perfectly politically diverse.

HeightsGuy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 You guys sound shocked that there is actually such a thing as a rich Democrat. Do the math, most of the blue states are on the east and west coast. Most of the states on the east and west coast are at the top of the wealth charts.Rich republicans are a stereotype. Poor democrats are a stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion that people want to find neighborhoods with clusters of like-minded groups of people to live in...its right up there on par with churches that develop suburban communities for their congregation to live in.Sure, it promotes some sense of community and togetherness, but why would someone in their right mind want to live in a neighborhood where no one will ever disagree with you or challenge you intellectually? How terribly boring and anti-intellectual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was SARCASM, Meyerland and Bellaire, are both filled with old Jewish folks. So NO, I am not "shocked" at all, I already knew who lives there. Ok, I am NOT surprised AT ALL, that these areas are blue. Jeez Louise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones, I caught it, but in reality that's an outdated political stereotype too. Israel gets a lot more love from conservatives these days than liberals. Because of that a lot of red state Jewish people have jumped over to the Republican side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
