I too am from Arkansas and have seen the same trends.
Reverse white flight from Benton, Conway, and Cabot?
Everything from Shackleford out to Pinnacle and Ferndale
will die on the vine.
Asher, University, to Baseline and Mabelvale will be
refurbished.
I got that right?
Yes thats pretty much what I figure.
My parents live out Col. Glenn :)
I grew up in Twin Lakes for example and I think that area would grow.
When I was a kid white flight was at Baseline for example.
And sorry to the rest of the world but Southern Racism is complex.
Now wealthier blacks and whites are pretty much fully integrated and not a lot
of racism outside of the older people. But the poor have some serious racism poverty issues.
The white flight situation in Little Rock is also closely tied to some very messed up
schools. You have something similar in California actually but at least CA kept neighborhood schools so its possible to have decent schools if a area gets refurbished.
I was actually surprised to find CA had problems similar to Arkansas.
In general public education and our "hidden" class system have never worked well together.
One reason I like smaller towns is the rich and poor are forced to work together since they
cannot afford two schools. Anyway suburbia and class problems and education and tax revenue are tightly linked. At least in the South the suburban sprawl is driven by white flight and associated attempts to localize tax money.
The whole cesspool is going to be forced open as peak oil advances.
And gasoline prices will cause further division between classes and damage tax revenues.
I don't think Americans realize how much rampant suburban expansion has allowed us to avoid dealing with our internal problems. Now not only will we have to deal with them but they will worsen.
