Blacks in (face)Palm Springs are crying racism about trees planted some fifty years ago. Those trees serve as the border between a predominantly black neighborhood and a municipal golf course.
Housing prices have boomed in Palm Springs. Not so much in the neighborhood behind that row of trees. But are the trees the problem? The neighborhood was predominantly black fifty years ago. Now it is beginning to diversify. Home prices lag by as much as $150,000 which means the taxes also lag.
The movement is spearheaded by Trae Daniel, a white real estate agent who moved into the neighborhood fourteen years ago, bought cheap, and will profit from any increase in value. His commissions are tied to the sale price. As the "Savior" of the neighborhood, you can bet the owners will flock to him to sell, and sell they will. Increased value means higher taxes. How many of the original resident will be able to afford the increase? Those who could sold and moved.
No, it won't be golf balls breaking windows. Actions have consequences, and when liberals face consequences, they tend to vent in traditional manners. Think Ferguson.
