That would be a desirable outcome for teh current global situation. Hope that Asians and Jews can create a surety bond as well. That would be a desirable outcome for teh current global situation.

SF definitely needs better public transportation, that's for sure! So if NYC didn’t have a subway system, then NYC would be just as “segregated” as SF?

SF definitely needs better public transportation, that’s for sure!

Not that NYC is much better but at least we have the subway system in NY. Regardless of where you live, you're forced to ride the subway like everyone else. Riding the subway is the best way to cure anyone of the delusion that everyone is like them. I was really suprised by how segregated the social scene was in SF - I remember walking into a bar in the SOMA district and being confronted by a big swath of white people. The looks I got made me want to leave after 15 minutes. Having lived in SF for a number of years before moving back to NYC, I would have to say that I was really shocked at how segregated SF seemed.

I suppose it depends on how you define integration, but as I see it, the South Bay is largely segregated. While people work together in their Silicon Valley firms, after work, for the most part, they go back to their ethnic enclaves (disclosure - for the most part, that's what I do). I really noticed this when I started coaching youth sports. I'd go with my mostly Asians group of kids to another school to play a group of mostly and sometimes all group of white kids. I suppose that it is definitely progress that they are at least playing against each other, but contrast is striking. Integration in the South Bay?
