Detroit to destroy former home of Mitt Romney

[hcallega]

Growing up in Baltimore, I know the face of white flight. It's meant the complete deprivation of some classic neighborhoods. There's a strip of houses along Harford Road (a very major road in Baltimore and the County) which has some incredibly nice houses architecturally. They were owned by middle and upper middle class whites mostly, much like those who live in Guilford/Roland Park/Homeland today. However as the poor black folks began to move in the neighborhoods around Lake Monticello (same area) the white folks dipped out. Now you have a row of houses that are horribly delapitated. It's not because they're black, it's because you had a neighborhood go from being one way and completely changing. It's the same in Detroit. White middle class leaves and the poor black class steps in without any economic means of betterment.
