white middle class who have no social skills leave the city

My mom's hair dresser lives around the corner from us. Some friends of family members live near us as well, so it's also non-whites who happen to move out of the city. IIRC, when we were purchasing, a home of similar size within the five boroughs was priced at nearly $100k to $200k more than the price of our home.

don't want to pay any taxes

It depends. As an example, by living in Nassau County, one escapes the NYC income tax, but you're stuck with a property tax bill that can be as high as $12,000 per year in some areas.

complain that the politicians they elect never accomplish anything

Actually, residents are rather happen that the politicians have kept out renters since renters are viewed as non-taxpayers and poor minorities who soak up services and commit crimes. As I've stated, it doesn't help that the areas of higher density with renters are the areas with the crummier schools, higher crime rates, and high minority populations. Besides, I've heard of stories of owners complaining about white "illegal" renters too...
