Oak Cliff in Dallas, noted for its production of div 1A football talent, is one of these neighborhoods.

Is this a joke? The entire BeeHive state is currently operated under the unofficial mantra of silencing those with differing viewpoints. Why get upset when homosexuals want to get in on the alienation game in Utah?

It isnt a gay man's job to increase your property values. In Utah, you increase your property values by purchasing elaborate wicker crafts for your doors and porches, as well as digging a hole in your backyard for your trampoline. Also, leave lots of kiddie toys all over your yard that has no fence so that everyone can see it from 2 blocks away.

Similarly, if you want to create value in your neighborhood, sell your C class and buy an E. Or at least "re-badge" your C so visitors can see how wealthy the area is. You blame the gays but in reality, your logo-less vehicle is what is bringing down property values.

The process is going on in Dallas as gays have moved to an impoverished area in South Dallas, have reinvigorated an art district, etc.
I get your comments now. You don't know enough about the neighborhoods to comment on the subject specifically so you throw out a generality from an article you've read and then try to force others to think what you know about is what is happening.

I learned from TripletDaddy that I can't argue against experience.

I guess K-dog wins then, because he has the most experience.

just not sure why you think gay neighbors are about as good as you can do in terms of neighbors.

What makes a gay neighbor better than a straight neighbor or a black neighbor or a bi neighbor, etc..?

Who said it was their job to create property values? Not me. I said I didn't want them trying to stifle the social and political environment. Mike wanted to talk about them "raising values" of property in my neighborhood. Maybe you should practice reading more of the posts before you start commenting and demonstrating your ignorance of the subject.

I think gays in SLC are probably more accurately hostile to those that are hostile to them.

You claim persecution K-dog, but I don't believe it. Not for one lousy second.

I bet you anything I could buy your house (assuming that suddenly my salary quintuples of course, who can afford anything you can afford?) and after a year I would be very puzzled about this supposed persecution.

Gentrification. Do I need to explain what that is?

Admittedly, my position is pretty extreme. Those avec may know more than those sans. Where did I get that crazy idea?
