Xenophobia is everywhere

not just the suburbs, but I like this paragraph, from "Fear the Neighbor," from a regional section of the New York Times:

Sometimes the xenophobia of the suburbs is subtle, sometimes it’s not. But you can’t live here very long without becoming aware that so much of what draws us to the suburbs — the ability to find a parking spot in town, the quiet of the night, the sense of safety — is based on the principles of exclusion.
