    I don't think real integration is possible. I want it to be, but it's not working. Watch the trends, once a part of town gets a critical mass of nonwhites, whites leave. Whites don't like public transport because it allows poor blacks to come out to where they are. My school when I was a kid was "integrated " -- blacks were in the same building and in the same rooms, but you could have seriously painted a line across the floor in every classroom and the cafeteria and had blacks on one side and whites on the other. I doubt most of us ever really believed the dream. So you can build housing outside the ghetto, but within 5 years, you've just created another ghetto. I don't think it's progress.
