The Daily Astorian – Astoria, Oregon.

The headline is bogus, but lifted right from the linked article. This is not “White flight” as if young whites are fearful of minorities. It is an effort, conscious or not, to achieve a more humane and less car-centered life.

But think of the next step: poorer folks move into the now less desirable suburban homes just in time to experience the ravages of peak oil, making them poorer still (as they fuel their behemoths) and the rich still richer (as they walk to work, restaurants, etc., free of such urgent need to burn fossil fuels in their personal transporters).
