NY Times: Smallish Yuppie Homes Remind Black Residents of ...Plantation Houses?

A New York Times story about gentrification in the historically black South Park neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina includes these lines:  "A few new homes rise high above the modest, single-story properties around them. Those houses, some longtime residents lament, feel so large that they evoke plantation homes, complete with second-story porches an overseer might use to keep an eye on the black residents nearby."
