I was living in San Francisco, near the U.S. Mint, in a converted brownstone with my partner and our 7 poms. I went out one day to Haight Street to purchase some fresh baked goods for the family when I happened upon a black man pushing a shopping cart with a half-empty pickle jar in it.
The next day we moved to Bangor, Maine and opened a B&B. We now feel safe.

The next step will be for them to notice a couple of dark skinned or possibly poor people in their new community, and immediately start campaigning/complaining about how it used to be nice until all the city people starting moving out here.
Once a town reaches a point where a decent breakfast joint is no longer a viable business it is time to move away because the developers and profiteers have taken over.

Some cities are taking steps to discourage this practice. Changes at the federal level to prevent their old laundering methods from working in the future might also make a difference:

Good riddance.
That being said, I moved to the East Bay about 7 years ago and also felt that the SF of my mid thirties wasn’t the SF of my mid twenties. I think that’s just how people feel as they age though.

There was a tragicomic campaign when BC first brought in a ‘Second Home Tax’ where various rich people were demanding that the tax be stopped. They received unsurprisingly little sympathy or support outside of the various country clubs.

I at least figured that I had a sense what
an event and food director for Twitter
did. These days, nothing.
