From Money magazine:
MONEY’s Best Places to Live in America
This year we rank the 50 best small cities in the country—places with great jobs, strong economies, affordable homes, excellent schools, and that special something that makes it a great place to live. Just ask the Wilson family of No. 1 Apex, N.C.
Magazines go through a lot of churn in these listing so that they don’t just come up with the usual suspects year after year (“Latest findings! If you are really rich, La Jolla is still a nice place to live. Also, don’t forget about Park Avenue!”) Still, it’s worth taking a look at the lists they come up with to see if any larger lessons can be derived.
I looked up the demographics of the top 10 of Money’s best places to live. By my calculations from the Census Quickfacts website, with data from 2010 or later:
Keep in mind the magazine gives bonus points for diversity, eliminates any place at least 95% white, and excludes very wealthy towns. And it’s all pretty subjective to allow for novelty needed to sell magazines. But, still, these all sound like pretty nice places.
Real estate tip: Asians appear to serve as a leading indicator. There are a lot of places in the U.S. that are disproportionately white because they are on the upswing, but then there are other places that are highly white because nothing much is happening there (e.g., a lot of West Virginia). But predominantly white towns where the Asian to black ratio and Asian to Hispanic ratio are high do very well in these kind of lists.
Nationally, the (white + Asian) / (black + Hispanic) ratio is only 2.2 to 1. But none of these towns drop below 5 to 1, and 7 of the Top 10 are over 10 to 1.

I’ll send this to my grandfather. He lives in Apex- lots of retired military there.
Steve, you list Chanhassen, MN as 91.3 percent white. According to wiki, it was 100 percent white as of the 2010 census, though that sounds a little dubious. The 2000 census put it at 94.9 percent white. Is wiki that off?
I'm using the Census Bureau's Quickfacts website for all these.
Here's Chanhassen's, which says 91.3% white alone, not Hispanic.

These lists have been around a long time. I would love to see a “Where are they now?” type of article for some of these erstwhile great places to live, along with comparisons of demographics, then and now. Detroit must have once been a great place to live, judging by the ruins.
Thanks for the tip on the Money article.

They exclude all towns that are more than 95% one race and they give points for diversity. So that’s two silly factors that help muddy the water.
At long last! Our Dear Rulers’ List of Target Locations for “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” is published!
Not so keen on retiring with a bunch of asians after living with them in the bay area. They are a PITA. Of course my town has hispanics thanks to Sec. 8. I’m a bit leery of the 2nd generation having the work hard, stay out of trouble ethic like their parents. Except for the drinking and dui’s.

The Trump plan to secure and protect our nation, our home, with great input from the wise and patriotic Senator Sessions, is a strong and necessary measure which has my support.

Ferguson was a great place to live in the 60s 70s and 80s. In the late 90s Ferguson got some section 8 housing and a demographic transition began. It should be complete by 2020. Result: a small Detroit.

Simsbury is the only one I know well, and it’s definitely not a cheap place. House prices are insanely expensive.
I doubt if any of Sailer’s regulars is surprised at the demographics of Money’s list. Few, if any, whites really wants to live among a lot of Afro-Americans or Hispanics. I would also think the reverse is true.
What I don’t understand is how so many smart people are in the open borders crowd. Don’t or can’t they see where this all ineluctably leads? Where will they live when they are a very rich and very minor part of the population? And how can they be secure? The barbarians will take their women. assets and kill them.
How can they not see? It is a puzzlement as a King I knew once said.
The rich can always hire personal security forces to guard themselves, build gated communities, get around by private transportation, bribe government officials, send their kids to private schools. New York City and Los Angeles have lots of rich people who live very privileged lives.
There's also evidence that immigration lowers crime in major American cities by pushing out lower-income blacks. From that perspective, mass immigration is a good idea. http://www.ronunz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RaceCrime-Unz-July20131.pdf
The only disadvantage to the current system is that some day, the increasingly diverse masses may vote in a socialist president who confiscates the wealth of the over class. Fortunately for them, up to now, the over class has been able to manipulate the political system and media enough to prevent that from occurring. Given how majority-minority states like California and Texas are friendly to business interests, I'd say the oligarchs have little to fear.
The people who suffer the most are middle-class types, like teachers and nurses. Not because of crime or barbaric behavior, but because their living standards are suppressed and their culture is eroded. Just compare what LA was like during the 80s to today. Crime is actually lower, but the city is economically and culturally far more inhospitable to non-affluent whites, who've mostly fled the city.Replies: @rvg, @rvg, @Anonymous, @Bill

Come on, now. The one face best associated with Chanhassen doesn’t look very white.
Looked at the QuickFacts for the towns’ foreign-born proportions. All but two or three under the national average of 13% (TX, Mass, and maybe one other — I closed the page); all under 20% (TX highest at 19-point-something); all but one under 15%; a majority under 10%. The Nebraska town is 3.6%, a quarter the national average. These burgs are not immigrant magnets.
Steve,
You beat me to it! I was going to send you this article. As you indicated, diversity is used as a deciding factor in this, which will exclude a lot of 90%+ towns. I could name at least 30 towns off the top of my head in NJ that I would rather live in than Hillsborough (which was the only NJ town on the list, presumably because of our insane property taxes). Still though, all of these towns in the list are very nice places to live and have great civic cultures. No High-Low coalitions. My guess is that these are almost entirely Republican majority towns too.

Trump running against Hillary already gives away one of the biggest advantages--that she's an old hag. Trump looks better than Hillary--because guys age better (because women's natural perceived value is in fertility). But throw in another late 60s dude and you really toss away the whole advantage.
Trump needs to get someone younger--at least into the mid 50s late boomer, possibly even early gen-X.
Ideally someone who is also alpha and from the upper midwest--the great un-mined bastion of potential Republican white votes.
Walker wouldn't be a terrible fit--age, geography--but seems to radiate un-alpha (his wife suggesting the same) and the college dropout thing doesn't help. But he seemed pretty manly pushing through his pension reform and surviving the parasites backlash. I'm not a badger and don't really know how he comes off.
Anyway, Sessions--good guy--but not *the guy* for Trump.
I don´t know if this is matters, but I haven´t ever heard of any of these cities\towns, and I have lived all over the US. I´ve lived in CT, which isn´t big, and never heard of this town, and I lived in Texas, which is big and never heard of its town. What this means exactly I don´t know, other than these town are pretty irrelevant, and so might be this list.
Simsbury is exclusive even though commuting to downtown Hartford is slow. It's especially tough in winter weather, when the main route via US-44 over Avon Mountain can be treacherous.
In 1995, Dennis Kitchen photographed the entire populations (or nearly so) of the smallest municipality in each state for Our Smallest Towns
The one exception was Dering Harbor, N.Y., pop. 28, where the mayor wrote him,
Our Trustees reviewed your request that this Village be included in your book on small towns. Regrettably, to do so would violate a policy of long standing against any kind of notoriety. We are intrigued by your subject and can only hope you will be published. Good luck.
Polite, but firm. The book was published with a picture of the village hall from afar and below.
I live near #3, Sharon, MA. It is known as a very Jewish town. Median personal income is close to $90k. The neighboring towns are also very nice. Kind of surprised other much more prosperous towns are not listed (Sudbury, Lincoln, Wellesley).
Sherwood, Oregon is a good choice, and is close to the burgeoning winery area around the red hills of Dundee. That part of Oregon has developed significantly over the past decades with many nice new restaurants to cater to all the wine drinkers. It is also close enough to the sporting and cultural life in Portland. The traffic does present a challenge at times. The Hispanic population is mainly in agriculture with some services. Retirees have found the area attractive for healthcare and formerly reasonable housing.
I have said this before. My town, great lakes Yankee, 99.5% white with a few adopted minority children tops the rather long list of places I have lived. It is its whiteness that makes it so good. You have to had lived somewhere like Atlanta, Austin, even Boulder, to understand why white social cohesion is so different and so liveable.
Get thee to a red region with red whites. Stay away from the blue places on that list.
I lived in Louisville, Co., a Boulder suburb, people with a serious stick up their butt. It is like “Singapore without the death penalty”, very controlling liberals with oppressive police.
It truly is a thing of beauty seeing the lightweight Marco Rubio called out. Rubio is basically bankrupt and only is running because of the patronage of billionaire Miami used car salesman, Norman Braman.

“Keep in mind the magazine gives bonus points for diversity, eliminates any place at least 95% white, and excludes very wealthy towns.”
Say what? I get excluding very wealthy towns – you want a list of places the average reader can afford to live. But what plausible reason is there for excluding very white towns? There is absolutely nothing to keep a non-white family from moving there.
And do they also state that they’ve excluded towns that are 95%+ black, or is there implicit racism in the fact that they don’t have to bother, since no town so black would ever qualify?
Also interesting: on this list Asians outnumber blacks in all but two cities (and in one of those just barely); they outnumber Hispanics in all but three cities; and they even manage to outnumber black AND Hispanics in four cities.
The Blackest nice town in America to live in is Bowie, Maryland. There are a lot of affluent Blacks there. But even Bowie is nowhere close to being 95 percent Black. Bowie is 48 percent Black and 41 percent White.
Trump needs to pick a VP that is anti-NWO and scarier to the elites than he himself is.

Even if you have the requisite money, La Jolla is an odd place to live. Very socially conscious, traffic is a nightmare, a mix of old money, new money, and people who bought there 60 years ago when it was actually funky (memorably described by Tom Wolfe in The Pump House Gang) but could in no way afford it today.
If you want to live close to the beach in San Diego county, you have, from south to north, La Jolla (described above), Del Mar (they don’t call the residents Del Martians for nothing, plus ultra-expensive), Solana Beach (ultra-ultra expensive but relatively sane), Encinitas / Leucadia (self-described as funky, can have really nice areas chockablock with barrios), Carlsbad (pretty nice if you stay away from the barrio on the north side), and Oceanside (the rest of the barrio + a rough Marine town). South of La Jolla is incredibly touristy and full of drunk twenty-somethings except maybe for parts of Point Loma.
It boggles my mind how some of the most prime coastal real estate in the US is given over to a town as shitty as Oceanside…

Of course, they see where it leads. That’s the point of the exercise. They’re sucking the wealth out of the country, and then they will move elsewhere. China, Israel, wherever.
Asians and Semites (not just Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews, the better Levantines of all kinds) have a good portion of the last two but not the first. Ashkenazi Jews have intelligence, but their creativity is of a wholly different nature. And their social order is inimical to real development. Mesoamericans, Australoids, and Congoids have nothing, but in some cases a great adaptation to nature.
I get a kick of those who say, well, the Ashkenazim are as above us as we are above blacks. Bullshit. Let's look at real creativity. Show me an original aircraft, a race car, a locomotive, anything an Ashkenazi has invented.
Israel makes weapons, and in some cases pretty good ones. But they are all derivative. The Merkava tank and the Kfir fighter are classic examples. They do certain things well, but they are adaptations of existing machines, as is the Galil rifle. The Kfir is a Mirage with a GE engine and canards originally developed by Dassault themselves (in somewhat different form). The Galil rifle is a modified FN-FAL. It isn't an especially good one either.
Indeed, firearms design gives us an outstanding example. In any discussion of modern small arms we will name a few designers: Eugene Stoner, Mikhail Kalashnikov, Mitch WerBell, and of course Israel's Uziel Gal. His designs are two: the aforementioned Galil rifle and the Uzi SMG. In some ways it is the best "buzz gun" in production today, and it is a good design. But it isn't terribly innovative. Submachineguns are not even a particularly key military weapon: American gun nuts slather over them because they are forbidden fruit. They are urban intimidators more than anything else, outside of legitimate special warfare operations.
If we go back a few years we have Paul Mauser and John Garand, and several others. But all these men put together pale in significance to one man in the history of firearms design. He was an American, and an American of that most American and peculiar religion and people, the Mormons. His name is John Moses Browning. Browning invented a list of firearms that is without parallel in the field: further, several of his designs, in essentially unmodified form, are still considered best in class designs despite being in more than one case a century old.
The Ashkenazim can invent, and they can manufacture. But there is not one Ashkenazi Jew that can boast of half the kind of accomplishment in the physical engineering arts that John Moses Browning could. (Software is another matter: Jews and high caste Hindus are quite good at that, but it takes a different kind of thinking to make real machinery.)
I worked in electronics manufacturing tooling for years-that is, making the machines to make components such as high precision resistors-and I worked for a number of Jews, some of whom were really into Zionist ideology. And occasionally I'd ask them why Israel didn't get into any of several lucrative manufacturing niches. They have the workforce and they have the capital and Israel, like New Jersey, actually has some open space to build infrastructure. In fact, they do have manufacturing plant and it is nowhere near maximally used. They would always avoid the subject or get nervous and "uncomfortable", but finally I had a couple of them tell me the truth:"that's too much like work". What I found fascinating and rewarding they regarded as simply an unpleasant necessity. Jews regard designing and building stuff the way they regard having sex with their wives, something that occasionally needs doing but to be avoided if possible.
People joke about Israel being the one place in the Middle East with no oil, but no one talks about the Dead Sea. Its salts contain trillions of dollars worth of precious and rare earth elements and the Israelis have exactly zero interest in extracting them. Indeed, even though the diamond trade is largely of Jewish creation, if Jews actually had to mine them they never would have bothered.

How many truly independent thinkers are there, even among the wealthy? It is also difficult for an insulated person to get a grasp of what the average person sees. Wealth is very insulating. Even business class travel will only open you up to servile immigrants.
I think to be interested in this sort of stuff it helps a lot to be something of a history and politics nerd with some experience of other races and cultures, or else a strong ethnocentric nature.

Fat chance. Anyone can afford to leave places like China, Israel, Russia is making their way to the US. Even ambitious Western Europeans try to move to the US. They still imagine this is the land of opportunity. Global elites in general do want the freedom to move wherever they want, which certainly guides their thinking on pro- immigration propaganda to some extent. But the native Open Borders Crowds consists mostly of idiots and naive idealists. A lot of the pro-immigration side seem to take the same position they take on gay marriage or other social issues – the future is clearly headed that way, and who wants to stand on the wrong side of “progress” and be demonized the way the 1920s pro-eugenics crowd is today? The few cynics able to see where we are really headed probably imagine that they and their descendants will always be 1 percenters who will thrive in our Brazil-like future.
What I don't understand is how so many smart people are in the open borders crowd. Don't or can't they see where this all ineluctably leads?

Say what? I get excluding very wealthy towns - you want a list of places the average reader can afford to live. But what plausible reason is there for excluding very white towns? There is absolutely nothing to keep a non-white family from moving there.
And do they also state that they've excluded towns that are 95%+ black, or is there implicit racism in the fact that they don't have to bother, since no town so black would ever qualify?
Also interesting: on this list Asians outnumber blacks in all but two cities (and in one of those just barely); they outnumber Hispanics in all but three cities; and they even manage to outnumber black AND Hispanics in four cities.Replies: @Jefferson

The Blackest nice town in America to live in is Bowie, Maryland. There are a lot of affluent Blacks there. But even Bowie is nowhere close to being 95 percent Black. Bowie is 48 percent Black and 41 percent White.
The real wealth of the West-that is, of the white world-isn’t its gold or silver, its oil, or gas or coal. Savages lived on top of such things for millennia and never touched them. It’s the creativity, the intelligence and the social order of Western man that are its real wealth.
Asians and Semites (not just Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews, the better Levantines of all kinds) have a good portion of the last two but not the first. Ashkenazi Jews have intelligence, but their creativity is of a wholly different nature. And their social order is inimical to real development. Mesoamericans, Australoids, and Congoids have nothing, but in some cases a great adaptation to nature.

As for the alleged Jewish aversion to "work" and hence extractive industries; ICL (Israel chemicals) is the worlds 7th largest producer of potash, all of which is extracted from the Dead Sea.

The Galil rifle is not a modified FN-FAL. The Galil is a modified variant of the Finnish RK 62, commonly referred to as a Valmet after the main manufacturer (though Sako also manufactured it). RK 62 itself is a modified variant of the Russian AK system. The Galil was designed to replace the FN-FAL in the Israeli inventory, because the Israeli combat experience through the 60's confirmed that the latter was not as reliable and easy-to-control (in full auto) as the AK variants fielded by Arab militaries.Israel, until quite recently, was a small, underdeveloped garrison state with limited financial resources. Weapons design and production is extremely capital-intensive, requires a ready market (large-scale buyers either domestically or overseas), and has a very high barrier to entry. For that reason it is dominated by those countries that fit those criteria (the U.S., Russia, and Germany). Even in the U.S. now, most weapon systems aren't produced unless substantial orders from foreign allies are in place.
Small garrison states (not just Israel, but Apartheid South Africa, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea* to name a few) that lack such conditions either buy directly from the major producers, produce licensed versions locally (usually as a part of a procurement with local "offsets") or they produce indigenous designs that are usually incremental improvements of others. For example, to continue the saga of the Galil, it was further adapted by the South African military as the Vektor R4 (and a carbine version, the R5). So the South Africans ended up with an AK variant by way of Russia, Finland, and Israel (and of course there is considerable debate on what influenced the Kalashnikov design, and there is a credible argument that it was very derivative/not original).
*By the way, South Korea, being economically the largest of the garrison states (and highly advanced technologically, with the second highest patents per capita in the world after Japan and before the U.S.) is now beginning to design, develop, manufacture, field, and sell to non-Korean buyers indigenous weapon systems, quite a far cry from a country in the 60's that did not even have a rifle factory. A variant of their service rifle, the K2, for example, is used by some Iraqi special forces. Iraq is also getting deliveries of the Korean T-50 trainer/light attack aircraft starting next year (Korea is beginning to sell weapons to customers in the rest of Asia, including the Middle East, and is attempting to enter the European market).
In this they are following the Israelis who already export weapons to a large number of foreign customers, including the U.S. civilian market. One recent Israeli entry in the latter is the Tavor bullpup rifle which has not even entered the general Israeli military service! (That will happen in 2018.) One of the reasons for the delay is that the Israeli military gets free M16/M4 rifles from the U.S., which made the indigenously produced Tavor uncompetitive in terms of procurement cost.Browning was a colossus in 20th Century small arms design, without a doubt. But understand that the American environment in which he was raised presented a unique advantage for those who are inclined to design gun - the large-scale ownership of guns (and automobiles) by civilians that allowed for proliferation of "kitchen table" gunsmiths and auto mechanics. Almost all other countries significantly restrict firearm ownership and makes it extremely difficult, and generally outright impossible, for civilian geniuses to tinker around with gun designs in their barn workshops.
Typically firearm designers in other countries had to be in the employ of established weapon manufacturers or state arsenals (which tends to limit very selectively the number of people who work on guns in the larger populations). For example, Dieudonne Saive, who finished several of Browning's uncompleted designs after his death, was an employee of the long-established Belgian gun maker Fabrique Nationale (Browning often gets credit for the "Browning Hi-Power," one of the most widely used military handguns of the late 20th Century, but it was Saive who redesigned and finished it; he also designed the aforementioned FN-FAL).
Asians and Semites (not just Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews, the better Levantines of all kinds) have a good portion of the last two but not the first. Ashkenazi Jews have intelligence, but their creativity is of a wholly different nature. And their social order is inimical to real development.

Oppenheimer and Rickover might disagree.
Personally I don’t think they’ve thought that far ahead. Israel is dependent on the US being powerful and pro-Israel. I don’t think any non-Chinese want to move to China.
How many truly independent thinkers are there, even among the wealthy? It is also difficult for an insulated person to get a grasp of what the average person sees. Wealth is very insulating. Even business class travel will only open you up to servile immigrants.
I think to be interested in this sort of stuff it helps a lot to be something of a history and politics nerd with some experience of other races and cultures, or else a strong ethnocentric nature. There are plenty of wealthy people whose main interest is making money and their hobbies are playing golf and such, not commenting on blogs like this.
That is why it takes far seeing people like Sailor and Buchanan twenty years or so to get their message out. The popularity of Trump's anti-immigration message is a result of people like Sailor talking about the dangers posed by unlimited immigration for the last twenty years or so. He has laid the groundwork for the meme which is finally starting to take off and which has gained enough critical mass to break through the Overton window which was strangling it.
People in general are self-interested, or slow, or insulated, or disinterested, or distracted, etc....or all of the above so it takes a long time for them to wake up and notice things that people like Steve have been noticing for what seems like forever.
In short, political changes often takes decades to germinate and manifest themselves. However, sometimes it is too late to save or turn around a situation. I hope that is not true in the USA.

The Jews created, ex nihilo, the motion picture feature film industry, wrote a canon of songs in the English language that is far better crafted than anything before or since, and established several businesses that created trillions in value where before no one saw anything but rocks and dirt. I don't dispute that. I don't disparage those things. But they did not develop motion picture photography, that was a White invention. They did not develop sound recording, or telephony, or amplification, or design lenses, shutters, film escapements, or sound synchronization. Without those things, there would be no Hollywood. They did not develop the instrumentation or the music theory or the rules of composition of Western music, nor the rules of poetry and prose, which without there would be no Broadway musicals. They used those things and they used them well, but they could never have invented them.
Jewish scientists did develop improved and new vaccines and medicines, and also did much to develop nuclear weapons, but in no case would those things never have happened without Jews. Feynmann and Von Neumann were absolute first raters, and Jews never talk about them qua their Jewishness. They talk incessantly about Einstein, who was a mixed blessing in science, and not as original as the propaganda states.

The Jewish contribution to science has been more in the realm of theory than in practical engineering and inventing. However, there are exceptions. Steve Sailer has mentioned the atomic bomb. The first form of napalm was invented by a Jewish chemist (Fieser). The chemist Ludwig Mond improved the Solvay process of manufacturing soda to make it commercially viable and founded a forerunner of Imperial Chemical Industries. One of Felix Mendelssohn’s sons was a pioneer in the manufacture of aniline dyes and founded a forerunner of AGFA. Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of elecromagnetic waves predicted by Maxwell’s theory. So Jews have not been as great practical scientists as they have been theorizers and mathematicians, but the Jewish contribution to practical science isn’t zero either.
They are immensely creative, but not in the same ways.

I get a kick of those who say, well, the Ashkenazim are as above us as we are above blacks. Bullshit. Let's look at real creativity. Show me an original aircraft, a race car, a locomotive, anything an Ashkenazi has invented.
Israel makes weapons, and in some cases pretty good ones. But they are all derivative. The Merkava tank and the Kfir fighter are classic examples. They do certain things well, but they are adaptations of existing machines, as is the Galil rifle. The Kfir is a Mirage with a GE engine and canards originally developed by Dassault themselves (in somewhat different form). The Galil rifle is a modified FN-FAL. It isn't an especially good one either.
Indeed, firearms design gives us an outstanding example. In any discussion of modern small arms we will name a few designers: Eugene Stoner, Mikhail Kalashnikov, Mitch WerBell, and of course Israel's Uziel Gal. His designs are two: the aforementioned Galil rifle and the Uzi SMG. In some ways it is the best "buzz gun" in production today, and it is a good design. But it isn't terribly innovative. Submachineguns are not even a particularly key military weapon: American gun nuts slather over them because they are forbidden fruit. They are urban intimidators more than anything else, outside of legitimate special warfare operations.
If we go back a few years we have Paul Mauser and John Garand, and several others. But all these men put together pale in significance to one man in the history of firearms design. He was an American, and an American of that most American and peculiar religion and people, the Mormons. His name is John Moses Browning. Browning invented a list of firearms that is without parallel in the field: further, several of his designs, in essentially unmodified form, are still considered best in class designs despite being in more than one case a century old.
The Ashkenazim can invent, and they can manufacture. But there is not one Ashkenazi Jew that can boast of half the kind of accomplishment in the physical engineering arts that John Moses Browning could. (Software is another matter: Jews and high caste Hindus are quite good at that, but it takes a different kind of thinking to make real machinery.)
I worked in electronics manufacturing tooling for years-that is, making the machines to make components such as high precision resistors-and I worked for a number of Jews, some of whom were really into Zionist ideology. And occasionally I'd ask them why Israel didn't get into any of several lucrative manufacturing niches. They have the workforce and they have the capital and Israel, like New Jersey, actually has some open space to build infrastructure. In fact, they do have manufacturing plant and it is nowhere near maximally used. They would always avoid the subject or get nervous and "uncomfortable", but finally I had a couple of them tell me the truth:"that's too much like work". What I found fascinating and rewarding they regarded as simply an unpleasant necessity. Jews regard designing and building stuff the way they regard having sex with their wives, something that occasionally needs doing but to be avoided if possible.
People joke about Israel being the one place in the Middle East with no oil, but no one talks about the Dead Sea. Its salts contain trillions of dollars worth of precious and rare earth elements and the Israelis have exactly zero interest in extracting them. Indeed, even though the diamond trade is largely of Jewish creation, if Jews actually had to mine them they never would have bothered.

As a patent attorney who has drafted over a thousand patents I can tell you this is correct.
I wonder what percentage of liberals look at this data and genuinely think “We have to get more black kids into these towns with good schools!”
In my southern, dark complected, city, “Good Schools” is a bit of a liberal euphemism. They mysteriously lose their status as soon as the demographics change.
Yeah, I was surprised that I hadn’t heard of a single one of these either. It must have been by design. They omitted the more well-known, well-to-do suburbs. Probably because too many people had heard of them. Places like Plano and Frisco (Dallas), and Cary (Raleigh).
The reality is that many things don’t change very fast anymore, so magazines need to dig deeper to find obscure towns to feature rather than go back to Plano and Cary for the umpteenth time.
Are Indians and Pakistanis counted as Asians? What about southwest Asians like Arabs?
Certain mainland Chinese, Hmong, some Vietnamese can be hard to live with. Hong Kong, Japanese, Korean usually bring less friction. But you can't allow any of these people to mass immigrate or their mentality will change away from assimilation.Replies: @Anonymous, @Hapalong Cassidy
Any area is made better with larger numbers of Korean, Japanese, Hong Kong Chinese. Worse with Southeast Asians, though the area was probably already crappy before they start showing up. There’s also an element of whites who make an area worse, rednecks (Scots-Irish/Germanic, e.g., Central PA, Appalachia).
Southeast Asians in the U.S still commit significantly less crime than Hispanics and African Americans. Filipinos for example do not have a reputation for being urban inner city thug trouble makers here in The Bay Area. Some Filipino youths adopt African American culture in the same way that Wiggers adopt African American culture. But among Filipino youths who act Black, most of them are not real thugs and are just wannabes just like Wiggers.
Had to pipe up here: I’m from Solon, born and bred (class of ’90). It’s been quite disheartening to see the decline in the city as it has become more “diverse”. The city officials blithely grin and trumpet Solon’s latest mention in the national press (this isn’t the first time), as if this somehow compensates for the increase in crime and alienation amongst the residents. Certain restaurants, I’ve noticed, have become self-segregating (the ones with blacks working in them get less and less white customers, who are not inclined to appreciate the dirty conditions and dismal service). Hell, the McDonald’s finally closed down and was demolished this spring for that very reason (couldn’t make a go of it anymore as the black women in there were totally cavalier and incompetent). You go into a budget retailer like Marc’s and it’s like you step into a Third World Country – I was in there a year ago and the only other two whites in the store on a Saturday afternoon were employees. Not many Hispanics – so that 2% figure feels right to me. The Asians, attracted by Solon’s reputation for excellent schools, behave themselves – and keep to themselves. There is even a Mandarin School here now, that the Chinese attend on the weekends. The blacks, on the other hand…well, they behave in Solon the same way they do everywhere else. Test scores are starting to suffer, and I have heard of gang attacks in the high school, which are naturally hushed up. Trust me, it was a cleaner, safer, nicer and actually more prosperous place 15 years ago. There are much nicer communities nearby – Chagrin Falls and Hudson, for example. But even for some of the [liberal] residents, they are “too white” – as if it is a coincidence that all the nicest places to live are least vibrant.

See what I said when I said this blog justifies racial cleansing as long as it is for the greater good? In this case the greater good is high IQ supremacism.
The rich can always hire personal security forces to guard themselves, build gated communities, get around by private transportation, bribe government officials, send their kids to private schools. New York City and Los Angeles have lots of rich people who live very privileged lives.
There's also evidence that immigration lowers crime in major American cities by pushing out lower-income blacks. From that perspective, mass immigration is a good idea. http://www.ronunz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RaceCrime-Unz-July20131.pdf
The only disadvantage to the current system is that some day, the increasingly diverse masses may vote in a socialist president who confiscates the wealth of the over class. Fortunately for them, up to now, the over class has been able to manipulate the political system and media enough to prevent that from occurring. Given how majority-minority states like California and Texas are friendly to business interests, I'd say the oligarchs have little to fear.
The people who suffer the most are middle-class types, like teachers and nurses. Not because of crime or barbaric behavior, but because their living standards are suppressed and their culture is eroded. Just compare what LA was like during the 80s to today. Crime is actually lower, but the city is economically and culturally far more inhospitable to non-affluent whites, who've mostly fled the city.Replies: @rvg, @rvg, @Anonymous, @Bill
With this is the assumption that the house-of-cards financial system will just continue. That the dollar, or whatever other fiat currency might temporarily replace it, will still be trusted as having value even after bouts of hyperinflation. I can quote a lot of powerhouse financial/rich guys who’ve made comments that sound prepper-esque, but I think anyone with a little foresight and common sense can realize that we have Humpty Dumpty financialized global economy, and the worse place to be when the music stops is in some “vibrant” area with a lot of wealth disparity. We have reached a stage where trying to use examples from the past is no longer helpful. Does anyone think the outcome of the Great Depression would have been different if the population and social incohesion of the present had existed then? The global financial collapse and the hyperinflation into nothingness of the dollar will be magnitudes of order more devastating than the Great Depression.
I am guessing you are saying this because you are not Southeast Asian right? So your oxe is not being gored?

Off topic completely, the rate of traffic fatalities has jumped 14% in the first six months of 2015. Could this be another Ferguson effect? Blacks appear historically to have the same rate of death in traffic accidents as whites per 100,000, but car ownership among blacks is lower and so are miles driven. So per mile, blacks had a higher fatality rate than whites even without an additional sense of impunity.
The Jews created, ex nihilo, the motion picture feature film industry, wrote a canon of songs in the English language that is far better crafted than anything before or since, and established several businesses that created trillions in value where before no one saw anything but rocks and dirt. I don't dispute that. I don't disparage those things. But they did not develop motion picture photography, that was a White invention. They did not develop sound recording, or telephony, or amplification, or design lenses, shutters, film escapements, or sound synchronization. Without those things, there would be no Hollywood. They did not develop the instrumentation or the music theory or the rules of composition of Western music, nor the rules of poetry and prose, which without there would be no Broadway musicals. They used those things and they used them well, but they could never have invented them.
Jewish scientists did develop improved and new vaccines and medicines, and also did much to develop nuclear weapons, but in no case would those things never have happened without Jews. Feynmann and Von Neumann were absolute first raters, and Jews never talk about them qua their Jewishness. They talk incessantly about Einstein, who was a mixed blessing in science, and not as original as the propaganda states.
(Rickover, an administrator rather than a scientist, was an outlier in that he himself quite correctly stated that for his enemies "anti-Semitism" was the least of their motivations. He was a martinet and an empire-builder and the Navy should have forced his retirement thirty years before it did: indeed the Naval high command was chevied into making him an admiral in the first place, and to its dishonor and regret acquiesced. He ruined the naval careers of many first rate officers and deterred many other capable men, such as my own father, from pursuing careers in the submarine service. My father was a naval aviator who retired at the squadron commander level: Rickover was the reason he avoided submarines in the first place and, with the requirement of aircraft carrier commanders to deal with reactors, Rickover's command of surface as well as submarine reactors was a prime deterrent to his pursuing further advancement in that area. He retired shortly before Rickover nearly dove a sub past crush depth and was finally ran out by John Lehman, and often said that he wished he'd stayed just a little longer: he believed he'd have wound up an admiral, and I think he was probably correct. )
I don't have an animus against Jews: I worked with a lot of them, some of them I was, and remain quite fond of and some of them I detested, but not because they were Jews.

As a former Chicagoan, I am not a great fan of Frank Gearhy (Pritzker Pavillion)or Bertrand Goldberg (Marina City , River City and Prentiss Women’s. Hospital). They all are interesting from a theoretical perspective, and have lots of fine curves. They fail to inspire, and they are very uncomfortable structures to be in or around. Additionally, excepting the Pavillion, they are not as well suited to their purposes as they might be because Goldberg put his theoretical flight of fancy (form ) above the intended function of the structure. It is as if the designers mind was unable make a sensible transition when applying the theoretical to the physical world, and the human sense of asthetic. As a final point, all of the structures completely reject any connection with what we have learned are good first principals of design and asthetics in 1500 years of Western Civilization. Whether this has anything to do with the architects being Jewish, or just living in the 20th century is for minds greater than mine.

I remember visiting Chicago in 1965 when I was six.

Therefore, I’ve always been surprised that that didn’t turn out to be true.
Domes can be done well, but I have not seen many designed in a visually pleasing way.
Another failure was Buckminster Fullers Dymaxion house, now at the Henry Ford Museum. All the men thought it would be great until the wives saw the kitchen and the bathrooms. Which gets me back to Marina Towers. All the apartments are shaped like a piece of pie. The area where the pie slice gets narrow is away from the windows and where core and the utilities run, and is where baths and kitchen are normally placed. The area available near the tip of the pie is smaller, which leads to smaller kitchens and baths, which is not where home design has been moving for the past 100 years. Remember, your wife wants a place to put the dishwasher.
I have been in all these buildings and they have irregular room plans with weird angles which makes it hard to place furniture and use the space.
Additionally, the thing that makes the structure cheaper to build, heat and cool is the lower ratio of exterior area to interior space, which reduces the amount of window area per square foot of structure. Not so good in a high rise as view is everything. A better solution in modern residential architecture is Lake Point Tower by Navy Pier, which I believe was a rehashed Mies design.

In any discussion of modern small arms we will name a few designers: Eugene Stoner, Mikhail Kalashnikov, Mitch WerBell, and of course Israel's Uziel Gal. His designs are two: the aforementioned Galil rifle and the Uzi SMG. In some ways it is the best "buzz gun" in production today, and it is a good design. But it isn't terribly innovative. Submachineguns are not even a particularly key military weapon: American gun nuts slather over them because they are forbidden fruit. They are urban intimidators more than anything else, outside of legitimate special warfare operations.
If we go back a few years we have Paul Mauser and John Garand, and several others. But all these men put together pale in significance to one man in the history of firearms design. He was an American, and an American of that most American and peculiar religion and people, the Mormons. His name is John Moses Browning. Browning invented a list of firearms that is without parallel in the field: further, several of his designs, in essentially unmodified form, are still considered best in class designs despite being in more than one case a century old.
The Ashkenazim can invent, and they can manufacture. But there is not one Ashkenazi Jew that can boast of half the kind of accomplishment in the physical engineering arts that John Moses Browning could. (Software is another matter: Jews and high caste Hindus are quite good at that, but it takes a different kind of thinking to make real machinery.)
I worked in electronics manufacturing tooling for years-that is, making the machines to make components such as high precision resistors-and I worked for a number of Jews, some of whom were really into Zionist ideology. And occasionally I'd ask them why Israel didn't get into any of several lucrative manufacturing niches. They have the workforce and they have the capital and Israel, like New Jersey, actually has some open space to build infrastructure. In fact, they do have manufacturing plant and it is nowhere near maximally used. They would always avoid the subject or get nervous and "uncomfortable", but finally I had a couple of them tell me the truth:"that's too much like work". What I found fascinating and rewarding they regarded as simply an unpleasant necessity. Jews regard designing and building stuff the way they regard having sex with their wives, something that occasionally needs doing but to be avoided if possible.
People joke about Israel being the one place in the Middle East with no oil, but no one talks about the Dead Sea. Its salts contain trillions of dollars worth of precious and rare earth elements and the Israelis have exactly zero interest in extracting them. Indeed, even though the diamond trade is largely of Jewish creation, if Jews actually had to mine them they never would have bothered.

While it’s true that J.M. Browning is,by a substantial margin, the greatest firearms designer who ever lived, I’m not sure what follows from that. That the Kfir and Merkava are derivative is of course true, but aircraft and tank design from the bottom up are incredibly capital intensive endeavors that are only feasible financially and otherwise on a very large scale. Israel simply doesn’t have the wherewithal to play on that level. Just for comparison, the Israeli aircraft consortium, Israel Aerospace Industries (which is pretty much the entire Israeli aerospace sector) is 1/25 the size of Boeing which accounts for maybe 30-35 % of U.S. aerospace industry revenues.
As for the alleged Jewish aversion to “work” and hence extractive industries; ICL (Israel chemicals) is the worlds 7th largest producer of potash, all of which is extracted from the Dead Sea.

The entire global market for rare earth elements in 2014 was slightly over 3 billion by most estimates.

For many decades, Papillion (pronounced with American phonetics, not French) has been known has been known as a bedroom community for Omaha…a place I probably wouldn’t want to live. It’s been developed beyond residential, though, so I don’t know what it’s like now. I wonder how many of the other cities on the list fit that profile. I’m guessing a few, since I’ve never heard of them.
Another former bedroom community of Omaha that used to be somewhat desirable is now Hispanic enough to make many not want to live there. Or so I’ve been told. Bedroom communities of undesirable cities are losers, IMO. Funny about the family they put in the picture.

There's also evidence that immigration lowers crime in major American cities by pushing out lower-income blacks. From that perspective, mass immigration is a good idea. http://www.ronunz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RaceCrime-Unz-July20131.pdf
The only disadvantage to the current system is that some day, the increasingly diverse masses may vote in a socialist president who confiscates the wealth of the over class. Fortunately for them, up to now, the over class has been able to manipulate the political system and media enough to prevent that from occurring. Given how majority-minority states like California and Texas are friendly to business interests, I'd say the oligarchs have little to fear.
The people who suffer the most are middle-class types, like teachers and nurses. Not because of crime or barbaric behavior, but because their living standards are suppressed and their culture is eroded. Just compare what LA was like during the 80s to today.

That is why it takes far seeing people like Sailor and Buchanan twenty years or so to get their message out. The popularity of Trump’s anti-immigration message is a result of people like Sailor talking about the dangers posed by unlimited immigration for the last twenty years or so. He has laid the groundwork for the meme which is finally starting to take off and which has gained enough critical mass to break through the Overton window which was strangling it.
People in general are self-interested, or slow, or insulated, or disinterested, or distracted, etc….or all of the above so it takes a long time for them to wake up and notice things that people like Steve have been noticing for what seems like forever.

Trump needs to get someone younger–at least into the mid 50s late boomer, possibly even early gen-X.
Ideally someone who is also alpha and from the upper midwest–the great un-mined bastion of potential Republican white votes.
Walker wouldn’t be a terrible fit–age, geography–but seems to radiate un-alpha (his wife suggesting the same) and the college dropout thing doesn’t help.

A few years ago I saw a “best places in America to live” in some popular magazine (I forget which one). The editors explicitly stated that they excluded any town whose population was more than 95% white (it might even have been 90%).
Remember kids: “diversity” is a virtue in its own right. And any place that’s too white is Bad News.
Mr. Sailer, I recall that you once wrote a post about the varying rates of real estate gains/losses by races in the United States during and after the recession. “Asians” came out the best, and I think you attributed it to “corrupt Chinese real estate investment bubble” or some such thing.
I suggested that there may be a simpler, more obvious explanation: Asians (at least East Asians) have high average IQ, educational level and long time-horizon as well as a marked preference for areas with excellent schools and low crime (which also means they avoid areas with high black populations, at least in a residential, as opposed to commercial, context).
This post seems to lend more evidence to that explanation rather than the “corrupt Chinese money” explanation (which may still be the case in places such as Northern California), given that Solon, OH, and Coppell, TX are probably not major destinations of corrupt Chinese investors.
Back when I lived on the West Coast, I often hiked near Snoqualmie, WA. Being in the mountainous interior of the Seattle metro area, this is not exactly on the radar of such Chinese moneyed set. But it is something of a scenic, affluent, technocratic, and granola whitopia relatively near a major high-tech job center, exactly the kind of place that many educated, SWPL-type Asians prefer (the town is fewer than 5% Hispanic and something like 0.1% black).
Asians and Semites (not just Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews, the better Levantines of all kinds) have a good portion of the last two but not the first. Ashkenazi Jews have intelligence, but their creativity is of a wholly different nature. And their social order is inimical to real development. Mesoamericans, Australoids, and Congoids have nothing, but in some cases a great adaptation to nature.
I get a kick of those who say, well, the Ashkenazim are as above us as we are above blacks. Bullshit. Let's look at real creativity. Show me an original aircraft, a race car, a locomotive, anything an Ashkenazi has invented.
Israel makes weapons, and in some cases pretty good ones. But they are all derivative. The Merkava tank and the Kfir fighter are classic examples. They do certain things well, but they are adaptations of existing machines, as is the Galil rifle. The Kfir is a Mirage with a GE engine and canards originally developed by Dassault themselves (in somewhat different form). The Galil rifle is a modified FN-FAL. It isn't an especially good one either.
Indeed, firearms design gives us an outstanding example. In any discussion of modern small arms we will name a few designers: Eugene Stoner, Mikhail Kalashnikov, Mitch WerBell, and of course Israel's Uziel Gal.

One of the reasons I keep coming back to this site to read comments, not just the posts, is that there appear to be some knowledgeable and interesting people on this site, in addition to the authors. Then there is a post such as this that is both pedantic and wrong, and relies on a faulty sense of expertise to make dubious points.
The Galil rifle is not a modified FN-FAL. The Galil is a modified variant of the Finnish RK 62, commonly referred to as a Valmet after the main manufacturer (though Sako also manufactured it). RK 62 itself is a modified variant of the Russian AK system. The Galil was designed to replace the FN-FAL in the Israeli inventory, because the Israeli combat experience through the 60’s confirmed that the latter was not as reliable and easy-to-control (in full auto) as the AK variants fielded by Arab militaries.
Israel, until quite recently, was a small, underdeveloped garrison state with limited financial resources. Weapons design and production is extremely capital-intensive, requires a ready market (large-scale buyers either domestically or overseas), and has a very high barrier to entry. For that reason it is dominated by those countries that fit those criteria (the U.S., Russia, and Germany). Even in the U.S. now, most weapon systems aren’t produced unless substantial orders from foreign allies are in place.
Small garrison states (not just Israel, but Apartheid South Africa, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea* to name a few) that lack such conditions either buy directly from the major producers, produce licensed versions locally (usually as a part of a procurement with local “offsets”) or they produce indigenous designs that are usually incremental improvements of others. For example, to continue the saga of the Galil, it was further adapted by the South African military as the Vektor R4 (and a carbine version, the R5). So the South Africans ended up with an AK variant by way of Russia, Finland, and Israel (and of course there is considerable debate on what influenced the Kalashnikov design, and there is a credible argument that it was very derivative/not original).
*By the way, South Korea, being economically the largest of the garrison states (and highly advanced technologically, with the second highest patents per capita in the world after Japan and before the U.S.) is now beginning to design, develop, manufacture, field, and sell to non-Korean buyers indigenous weapon systems, quite a far cry from a country in the 60’s that did not even have a rifle factory. A variant of their service rifle, the K2, for example, is used by some Iraqi special forces. Iraq is also getting deliveries of the Korean T-50 trainer/light attack aircraft starting next year (Korea is beginning to sell weapons to customers in the rest of Asia, including the Middle East, and is attempting to enter the European market).
In this they are following the Israelis who already export weapons to a large number of foreign customers, including the U.S. civilian market. One recent Israeli entry in the latter is the Tavor bullpup rifle which has not even entered the general Israeli military service! (That will happen in 2018.) One of the reasons for the delay is that the Israeli military gets free M16/M4 rifles from the U.S., which made the indigenously produced Tavor uncompetitive in terms of procurement cost.
Browning was a colossus in 20th Century small arms design, without a doubt. But understand that the American environment in which he was raised presented a unique advantage for those who are inclined to design gun – the large-scale ownership of guns (and automobiles) by civilians that allowed for proliferation of “kitchen table” gunsmiths and auto mechanics. Almost all other countries significantly restrict firearm ownership and makes it extremely difficult, and generally outright impossible, for civilian geniuses to tinker around with gun designs in their barn workshops.
Typically firearm designers in other countries had to be in the employ of established weapon manufacturers or state arsenals (which tends to limit very selectively the number of people who work on guns in the larger populations). For example, Dieudonne Saive, who finished several of Browning’s uncompleted designs after his death, was an employee of the long-established Belgian gun maker Fabrique Nationale (Browning often gets credit for the “Browning Hi-Power,” one of the most widely used military handguns of the late 20th Century, but it was Saive who redesigned and finished it; he also designed the aforementioned FN-FAL).
