Dog Parks, White People Thrive in Cities

Dog Parks, White People Thrive in CitiesA new report from The Trust for Public Land shows that although city parks in America only increased by 3% in the past five years, dog parks in American cities increased by 34% during that same period.

"Portland, Ore., has the highest per capita: 5.7 dog parks for every 100,000 residents."

In unrelated news, American cities are increasingly home to affluent white people.

Season two of Portlandia debuts Friday, January 6.
