Has middle class "white flight" occurred in your region?

Detroit pushed out to surrounding suburbs. Minorities began to move into some of those suburbs, and white people moved even further out. “Detroit” is not a huge area … there are many miles of suburbs that are considered the Detroit area.

There is more diversity in suburbs now, but there are areas that are not particularly minority-friendly (the news coverage of the racist folks who stormed the state Capitol in recent weeks was not made up). Schools in areas that are mostly minority are quite honestly not as good as those in other areas. It is something many of us have been trying to change, but change has been slow to materialize.
