    Fascinating that the article runs down a whole host of communal gathering spots and completely, utterly, fails to mention houses of worship.

    “Other businesses, like pharmacies, grocery stores, and gyms, or public institutions, like parks, schools, and libraries, are not as diverse”

    Where do the different faiths rank compared to restaurants? Are they all the same or do Pentacostals rank lower than, say Catholics?

    Maybe the authors of the study went out of their way to ignore the religious angle.

      Rich people don’t go to church, that’s for the poors

      I don’t know if you noticed that people of differing religions don’t meet up in each other’s houses of worship. And often times some very petty differences have hugely violent ramifications.

      Perhaps religions and its properties are a vehicle of segregation not commingling.

        No, but the question is people of varying income levels meeting up in the same space.

        So how does the income disparity in a Catholic church measure up to a Mormon one? Or a Synagog to a Mosque? Would be interesting to find out.
