I thought we were done with white flight. I’m surprised to see this continue.
Until we require people whose homes are bought out to stay nearby, we will be dealing with white flight. Perhaps there ought to be a law.
What’s worse, white flight or gentrification? Moving out or moving in you’re guilty of something with either one.
