#last - Obviously, sane people prefer not to live in ghettos or trailer parks. But, this claim that in a typical integrated, middle-income city like my Frankfort, a typical guy is in danger from roving mobs of Blacks or poor whites or whatever is statistical nonsense.
Not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that if you matched RE on all dimensions but racial composition of the neighborhood you'd see that people will pay a large premium to avoid living in black neighborhoods. That premium is due to safety - not irrational prejudice.

After reading through the comments on Colin's page, I see no evidence of that at all. What I notice is a combination of (1) logical-nuff reactions to actual Black crime WITH (2) pants-crapping cowardice caused by treating YT videos and so forth as real science.

But, dart-tossing aside, let's measure this. Would you say that the price of homes in white vs. Black neighborhoods - let's use Zillow - would totally reflect crime rates, rather than irrational bias, sales price tradition, etc?

I'd say that the price of housing in otherwise matching areas differing only by racial makeup reflect the premium to avoid the risk of crime in black neighborhoods as well as the rest of black dysfunction - not the crime rate. http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/hood.htm pic.twitter.com/oiuHXSrSpi
