Interestingly, this applies in Australia too, but in the case of inner cities (for the most part), instead of just leaving them to rot, they were gentrified, and hipsters moved into them (cheap, "arty", close to university, etc.), displacing our equivalent "Blaks"... Who then moved out to the shittier outer suburbs which have yet to be gentrified, or disappeared, in large part, from the cityscape. Or became homeless...
However the real shitholes in this country, nowadays at least, are mostly the outer suburbs, but moreso the small towns where this gentrification... Doesn't happen. That's where the Burn, Loot, Murder happens these days, vis a vis 15-20 years ago, when we had the Redfern and Cronulla riots, at least in Sydney, lol...
But yeah, if you go out to say... Alice Springs, which has something like 20% full or mostly full-blood Aboriginal population (or more), and is supposedly just about the most "segregated" place in Australia in Current Year, that's where you really have to watch yourself, lol. That's like... Our equivalent of Baltimore or whatever, these days at least!
Sounds a lot like the US. In Seattle for example a lot of the places 30 years ago no one wanted to live are now the trendiest spots because all the tech companies opened offices nearby.

Don't worry, BLM took care of that. Everybody's fleeing the cities again.
they can only leave if they didn't vote for those currently in power.
