The process is going on in Dallas as gays have moved to an impoverished area in South Dallas, have reinvigorated an art district, etc.
This is what has happened in Seattle all over the place. Gays are great neighbors and we profited nicely from our last house smack dab in an ascendant gay ghetto. But when I took my kids trick or treating I got a lot of looks of bewilderment and no candy.
