Why Does Whitey Move Out When His City Reaches a Critical Mass of the Precious POC?

Is racism the only driver in that decision to move? The answer is "no". Midnight Basketball costs green. Where does this green come from? Taxes. Whitey gets to pay for shit he does not use and may even think to be silly. Midnight Basketball is a euphemism for all of the “feel good freebies” that school districts (free brickfuss!!!), city and state governments feel that they need to provide and all of the increased services that police, fire and e.m.s. must provide to their wonderful citizens. Police in particular are expensive. The youth from these fine American homes have very little in the way of impulse control and contempt for any sort of authority figure, particularly white, male authority figures. Increased police patrols cost money. Recidivism is common. The only way to pay for all of this bullshit is to tax. Moving out of a major city (especially St. Louis City) in retirement was in my best interest financially when I retired. I’ve no desire to be an aging white male on a fixed income in a city that has lost control over its streets and that is steadily increasing taxes on an annual schedule. They will tell you that it is not very much and that “it’s for the kids” – same old song and dance. St. Louis City and St. Louis County are two different entities. The bullshit of the city is moving into the county at a steady clip. I’ve no desire to fund the bullshit known collectively as “Midnight Basketball”.
