The studies the author cites seem to be asking the wrong question. Rather than asking, "at what rate do poor people leave a neighborhood?", the question should be, "at what rate to poor people come to a neighborhood?".

Sure, the rate at which poor people leave can fall, but if NO poor people are moving into a neighborhood, they are essentially being forced out.
