It's more expensive to live in our neighborhoods. Taxes, association dues, you have to cut your grass so you have to buy a lawnmower.

Many blacks who worked with my dad at Ford stayed living in Detroit. We got out. So my dad back in those days purchased a $50,000 home and 12% interest in the late 70's.
