The United States differs from Germany in that the discussion and reality of housing cannot be separated from the formers racial politics. White liberals especially have seen the lifestyle that middle class urban living in Europe can offer and 50 years of white flight to the suburbs is fast reversing. Soaring prices in DC, the closure of schools in Chicago and stop and frisk in NYC are policies that push poor blacks out of desirable locations to make way for white middle class gentrification. Even South Central LA is in the first stages of this while San Francisco was ahead of the game to the extent that now the White middle classes are being pushed out by the super rich. And every one of those cities has a solid liberal Democratic administration.
