Talk:Co-op City, Bronx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this page could use some updated information (Co-op city today) as well as the missing citations. JKillah 22:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

The Ethnic Makeup section refering to Section 8 Black and Hispanic criminals taking over Co-op and causing the Jews to flee is just wrong and racist. While Co-op had a large Jewish population, the community as a whole was beautifully diverse for many years. I don't believe "white flight" is the correct interpretation. As the aged of (all races) began to pass away and the children (of all races) moved on, Co-op's residents became more minority -- which completely makes sense for the borough. Crime went up everywhere in the city for a time, but Co-op City always had a relatively low crime rate-- and still does. --Sacme 16:47, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
