I'd put up my Kent East Hill 98030 against any in the state.

You can walk down 104th Avenue and see people in garb from six different continents.

In some sense density could be a factor that affects diversity negatively. If say, only whites cluster in the newly proposed SLU high rises.

He might, however, take pity on you and pretend to engage you in the 'actual diverse experience' you so desperately long for. It'll be like the petting zoos you enjoyed as a kid.

in DC, columbia heights area, there's a bit more integration. the assimilation works both ways there. more like a synthesis. i could see that happening here over the next generation or so, as the different communities become a bit more established.

Maybe that's because only uptight, predictable, dull guilty white liberals think about that and seek those out. Or maybe they just don't like your white ass.

If development of more dense apartments and condos comes to Rainier, it will be because developers have concluded that they can make good money doing so. That will likely mean selling to whites and some Asians, but not African Americans or Hispanics. It would probably push out most of the current residents, including whites, because the ones who live there probably can't (or don't want to) afford Capitol Hill rents and mortgages. So yuppies will move in and diversity will go down, but density will go up. It's a conundrum for Charles because it doesn't mesh with his vision.

Now, perhaps if theirs a boom in Rainier, it will come at the expense of greater Capitol Hill and the displaced residents of Rainier can move there. THEN... Charles' vision will be realized. That would be great!

There is probably also a "gravitational" effect. Due to historical reasons, certain neighborhoods have larger numbers of certain populations and thus more services catering to them, so members continue to settle there. Think Capitol Hill for the LGBT (and hipster :P) community, or the ID for Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc.

What do these neighborhoods have in common? Although many, like Queens Village and Dorchester, are within the city limits, they are not the densest, most central, or best-known neighborhoods.
