Although a broad transracial consensus prevails in most respects about the pluses and minuses of living in the city or the suburbs, some substantial differences also emerge.  Moreover, African-Americans and whites seems to weigh these factors differently in forming general preferences about where to live.  This pattern of similarities and differences holds out intriguing implications for the development of metropolitan areas.  aRace  aHousing  aHening, Jeffrey R.  aUrban Affairs Review
