What\u2019s funniest about the \u201creal estate industry\u2019s\u201d riot-denial? Where are the riots happening?<\/p><\/div>Witness:<\/p>\n

America’s big cities have been beset by riots all Summer, resulting in the destruction of many homes and businesses and leading to a mass exodus from these communities to safer, more-suburban locales. We may be seeing the de facto<\/em> abandonment of vast swaths of America’s housing stock. Homeowners who cannot flee will be hurt worst as prices plummet, with many of these stranded homeowners being black Americans \u2013 only just recovered from their last round of real estate haircuts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

About this catastrophic exsanguination of the black middle class, the big-shot real estate industry executives say: Boo. Not quite so, alas: Instead, they have actively pretended none of this is happening.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Imputed, ephemeral, non-demonstrable racism? Right on it!<\/p>\n
The actual destruction of the best of the best of black America? Crickets.<\/p>\n
That’s how much black lives matter to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
