the people who live along the more eastern part of north carolina and already have to deal with a lot of flooding and pig poo poo lagoons are disproportionately impoverished african americans because
1) areas around and south of the great dismal swamp that aren't fairfax/va beach/newport news was one place runaway slaves fled to due to being hard to habitate/easy to hide in with all the malaria
2) land that floods a lot is not stable long-term for making a living agriculturally so it's cheap




basic needs there get ignored by state legislature bc it's the south. all the white folks live up in the piedmont

e: first map is % of people reporting african nonhispanic ethnicity

jesus is the water still rising? Florence is in loving Maine by now
flooding of downstream waterways when there's been a lot of rainfall over a large area is usually worst a day to several days after it's rained, since all the water's gotta slowly work its way from high ground into small upstream waterways, where it then collects downstream

upstream and in higher elevations is where you get flash flooding right after rainfall the worst, since usually sloped land and rocky/clay soil doesn't hold water v well

Accelerating the undoing of white flight seems like a good thing IMO.

Hahaha no

white flight meant a bunch of tax revenue leaving the cities and leaving most services unfunded but at least the city still has the ramshackle former shreddings of infrastructure that makes life at least navigable/walkable

the reverse of that is gentrification, where richer white people go "hey living in cities is actually more efficient," move back to the cities and as a result poor people get pushed out from rising costs. then poor people are forced into homelessness or to the suburbs where there's nothing in way of funded infrastructure and you get some libertarian ferguson situation where all elected office is a bunch of non-representative whites who deliberately harass, fine and brutalize the non-white population to fund themselves
