If these were conservative Republican communities from which blacks were being forced out economically, cries of "racism" would be ringing out across the land. Jesse Jackson would be on every TV channel, full of righteous indignation, and Al Sharpton's picture would be in every newspaper, along with his inflammatory rhetoric. But, as it is, there is hardly a peep out of anyone.

Regardless of race, people with children are likewise finding it hard to live where concentrations of limousine liberals force housing prices sky high with their severe land use restrictions under pretty environmentalist names. The number of children in San Francisco declined absolutely between 1990 and 2000, despite the overall growth in the city's population.

You can see where there are more children and less children in the average ages of local populations, which can differ by a decade or more. The average age in Merced County, out in the more conservative central valley, is 28 but in San Francisco it is 37. In very affluent communities like Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Woodside, the average age is in the forties.

When environmental extremism began to sweep through California in the 1970s, housing prices in Palo Alto roughly quadrupled -- and several schools had to shut down for lack of children. It wasn't demand that caused housing prices to skyrocket. Palo Alto's population declined slightly during that decade.

So long as people listen to political rhetoric, instead of looking at economic and demographic facts, liberalism sounds great.
