I'm not sure GP is accurate, even without that. The privileged descending to the lower quarters to hobnob with the masses is as old as civilization, and of course the working lower class generally have to go where everyone else is to serve them. If segregation is increasing, there are plenty of mechanisms to point to, also: anti-poor urban design protocol (including law enforcement-related), low/no-contact resource delivery, WFH, the increased cost of transportation and housing, etc. It's not actually a surprise that society is bifurcating, is it? Not after the anaphasing of school demographics, voter behavior, and so on.
