BLACK FLIGHT: “Blacks are leaving San Francisco faster than any other major US city, citing ‘substandard schools, a lack of affordable housing and the dearth of jobs and black culture,'” the San Francisco Chronicle reports, as spotted by Richard Fernandez at the Belmont Club, who has much more on the topic. Richard adds that San Francisco is far from the only American city from which blacks are deserting at record rates.

To add to San Francisco’s unique structural woes, it’s worth noting, as the SF Examiner did recently, that the city is “becoming a child-free zone as [its] youth population declines.”

Nanny State Utopias sure seem to come with expiration dates, don’t they?
