I always wonder how welcome I would be if I showed up wearing camo, a MAGA hat and attempted to drink beer on their porch. My gut feel is that most of the folks who post these signs are more comfortable with diversity as a vague, abstract concept than they are with the reality. |
As reported earlier, I am spending a lot of time in my parent's neighborhood.
It is a cozy neighborhood with ginger-bread houses. It is solidly "gentrified". It has approximately 5% of the kids in it as when I was growing up.
I enjoy looking at the landscaping.

I like what they did with the pots. It encloses the porch and makes it seem less exposed. It also throws in some nice color elements. |
