There's a bigger issue than race when it comes to gentrification. In Houston especially, its the rapid rise in COL.

We were always behind every other mid tier city for a long time. And now we're catching up to them quick. This sate & the city is bringing in too many people too fast. And we're bringing in people that can afford the rising prices plus taxes.

Poor inner city neighborhoods are always ripe for picking. Every major city is going through it. I walked through East Harlem at night, its not what it used to be. Heck Boston is losing their Blue Collar Irish neighborhoods.

White people move out of a neighborhood = white flight = racist
White people move into a neighborhood = gentrification = racist

I'm white and can't move closer to the city because of the cost. This isn't a race thing. Move on.

Just accept that if you are white and not a completely emasculated liberal male feminist, you are basically a Nazi and everything you do is racist by default. Everything you do is with carefully calculated racist intent.

sounds like property taxes are the problem, not neighborhoods getting nicer.
Damn skippy they are.

I'm not an advocate for a state income tax at all, but damn, appraisal districts across the state are absolutely abusing the citizens to squeeze every dime out them.

Property taxes at our current place were manageable when we purchased, but thanks to HCAD, they have actually become a burden on us. If it keep ups, we'll have to do some serious thinking about staying. Can't say I want to move either.

Rising market values are one thing, but the abuse by HCAD is a whole other level.
One of the only truly, terrible things about Texas is the insane property tax.

They need to enact reparations very soon; this may help with the issue some but I think minorities should be granted tax freezes and rental vouchers.
