15. They say one thing in the poll, but might do another if it actually happens.

I'm reminded of great White Flight during the 1960's and 1970's, when neighborhoods started becoming more integrated.

Then, of course, there has been a real surge in extended family breakdowns due to mass media stereotypes of a nuclear family along with work and financial stressors, which can lead to a "you're grown so you're on your own" attitude amongst family and communities.

Too many people in this country have no sense of community, and certainly little sense of loyalty. Mainly because profit margins are made by isolating consumers from their human connections and gaslighting out the idea of grown-ups can have independence without responsibility.
