Oh it happens. In fact, if you get the right Real Estate agent, and your cool with them, they will tell you what areas to avoid or streets.
Not allowed of course but it happens. Rampant in fact. Discrimination in housing is huge. And it should be no suprise, why certain areas look the way they do. Oh... there is a bit of selective nature to folks.
Especially when it comes to Co-Ops, like in NYC. You better have a good job, have the right last name to get the building boards to let you be part of the membership. I don't think its right but telling the reality of the situation.
Also with single family homes, if the owners are present during the house visits, you can sure bet something is going down. Again, should be no suprise why some newcomers or neighborhoods look the way they do.
