And how many poor minorities were priced out of their own neighborhoods so he could live in opulence?
Well, the old dude probably built, or bought, his estate out in the country; maybe circa the early 1970s, before things got bad under Jimmy Carter.
However, the old dude
is a landlord in inner-city Baltimore, and from what he's said before on Skins's island, it was a case of buying up black slum properties and then "gentrifying" them for middle-class whites, what used to be called "yuppies."
On the surface, "gentrification" looks like a good idea; no one likes to see run-down squalid properties.
But on the other hand, where do the people go, who used to live in those places when they were run-down? They certainly can't afford gentrified rent. I'll bet the old dude's displaced a lot of poor blacks, but he doesn't care, because he's a racist.
