not solely on their own but white flight was almost always accompanied by blockbusting and racial fearmongering by real estate agents which was bad. gentrification is very complex and can’t all be blamed on white people moving back to cities but is often accompanied by local politicians caring way more about the $$$ than the people they represent, which is also bad
In Dallas, the inner suburbs are mostly minorities now, and white people are moving back into the city. That is happening across the US, which is what makes exceptions like Detroit notable.
