From Dan Wang’s new book. Interesting thesis. Engineers do tend to think in terms of solving problems. Lawyers profit when there are unsolvable problems

Quick thread on "white flight" in the Bronx. In 1950, the Bronx was over 90% white. Between 1970 and 1980, the absolute number of whites dropped by half, partially replaced not by blacks but by new immigrant minorities (Puerto Ricans, Hondurans, Vietnamese, etc)

From the 1930s to the 1960s, the Bronx was known for its tranquility, with children playing outside unaccompanied, bikes and scooters left unattended, and doors left ajar for fresh air (!)

This changed in the 60s/70s, when black and Hispanic residents entered the Bronx en masse, attracted by public housing and rent-controlled apartments. For some reason, crime and drug use exploded around the same time. Knives, mugging, shootings, drugs, gang warfare
