It's long been said that you can mix ethnicities and races but you can't mix economic classes. Americans have yet to understand this clearly. The integration of New York City neighborhoods in the 1960s-70s led to massive white flight out of the city, lowering the middle class population drastically and destroying stable districts. Was it worth it? Some claim yes, others claim no. I believe the city made a mistake by buying up property and giving it to lower income ethnic minorities to forcibly integrate neighborhoods, rather than encourage organic integration by business investment, tax breaks, opportunity zones, etc.
