The above two nabes sit on opposite sides of the freeway from one another.
Homes and homestyles are about the same.
The black nabe goes from like 200s up to ~400
The white nabe starts at like 225 and goes into the millions (they got a golf course on this side)



Both nabes were built at the same time.
Few years ago.

Blackish hood seems to be wearing down A LOT faster than its white counterpart just across the road.
In 2014, why is this?
Same homebuilders built the homes.

They both pay the same amount of property taxes (% wise) because they are in the same county/city/MUD.

Why do the white nabe still look crisp around the edges and the black nabe seem kinda wilted and dated?

I was asking my wife about this shit but she don't know.

One of my boys built a house from the ground up in 2007.
Already his hood has derelict houses and the mexicans be blocking/clogging the street by parking fifthy leven cars ON the street when it seems like they have a party everyday and they live like 2 or 3 houses into the subdivision so their cars cause gridlock at the entrance gates

houses in his hood go for 150-225 tho
i think he paid like 200 to have his built

If anybody know of any Af-Am studies papers on this please point them in my direction.

In the meantime I found a cool lil paper from a Temple student:
