This is not actually a thing that happens because 'someone built an apartment building'.

[FuriouslyAdrift]

Never heard of white flight, huh?

[xboxnolifes]

Might want to look into why white flight even happened in the first place. It wasn't because apartments were built.

[FuriouslyAdrift]

It was directly tied to the disruption of neighborhoods culture. That's the root of my supposition.

[watwut]

It was because the new people were not white. They were black. The culture was not a factor, no matter how respectability politcs exactly as white they acted, they were black and thus a threat.

That's what 'FuriouslyAdrift' is saying. Those are the people he/she does not want in the neighborhood.
