The wypipo didn't leave the magic dirt because the bad ol' colored people came in.
The wypipo left because there were no jobs there and as the wypipo left, lowering housing costs which allowed poorer people in to the areas that were nicer than where they were. But with the poorer people there the stores couldn't sustain their previous incomes and closed and this multiplies the impact on town tax revenues which lowers infrastructure support. So more wypipo move out (along with the affluent POCs I might add) devaluing housing more and eventually bringing in criminal elements who can get housing cheap while running their scams.
And that's how suburbia collapses Charlie Brown. I've seen it happen to two areas in my lifetime so far. It's not that rich people magically make a community grow. It's that successful people are rich - and they're the same ones that can grow and sustain a community.
What a completely BS article.

Ideas and logic are not equitable.
