UPDATED: Briefly Noted: In BLM News
Since I went way long earlier today, this will be very brief. You've probably seen this story, but Steve Sailer lends this LA expertise to interpret it:
Sailer first quotes for the "Dirt" article:
Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors Lands Topanga Canyon Compound
then explains:
The amusing thing is that Topanga Canyon is culturally the whitest spot in the Los Angeles area: it’s been a semi-rural hippie enclave for bohemian artists since the 1960s. The last time I went hiking there, I saw Emmy Lou Harris out for a hike.
Residents over the years have included Woody Guthrie, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Jim Morrison, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, and Stephen Stills. During the mellow singer-songwriter boom of the 1970s, Topanga Canyon was associated with Laurel Canyon as constituting a scene.
Topanga is not terribly welcoming to outsiders. Back before GPS, the locals would frequently tear down the road sign pointing to the trailhead of the Topanga Canyon State Park.
But it’s perhaps the safest non-gated community in Los Angeles County for staying far, far away from black crime. Topanga was only 1.4% black in the 2010 Census and 84.5% non-Hispanic white, which is very white for L.A. County.
UPDATE: It's not real estate related, but this still seems a logical enough place to put this:
This is exactly correct. https://t.co/o27cvkUnUC
