The effects of living in a poor neighborhood
Yes, I'm aware of white flight. It's 2016 and the claim is that America has supposedly moved on, but it surely doesn't look like it. Or no one wants to talk about it since it's embarrassing.

Who claims that America has moved on from white flight? That seems like a far-fetched claim...

It started reversing in the 90's. These changes aren't instant. It will take time but it
is
happening.
It's not as tied to race anymore, though. Nonwhites are gentrifying neighbourhoods too.

And now you have the white influx that is once again displacing the poor ... and leading to homogeneous areas in the cities cores.
