White Flight versus White Walk
75% of "consistently conservative" respondents prefer the suburban sprawl model, and only 22% prefer the walkable urban design.
White Flight versus White Walk is my own Ficklin Media rephrasing, but no survey like this is thorough unless it takes into consideration white fear.
"The wonkosphere is going wild over the Pew Research Center’s new report on increasing partisan polarization.
It shows that liberal and conservative Americans are more segregated
than ever: liberals are now all Democrats, conservatives are all
Republicans, and both groups — although conservatives much more than liberals — increasingly tend to socialize and get their news only from one another. Conservatives are also found to be totally hostile to political compromise.
To anyone following political news,
these findings mostly just reinforce what we already knew. One of the
starkest divisions stands out, though, because it is on a topic that is
seldom measured or discussed: ideological divisions over walkable
urbanism versus suburban sprawl."
