Eric Zimmermann of The New Republic says:
On TNR.com, Professor Alan Ehrenhalt describes the startling trend of "demographic inversion" in American cities:
"Chicago is gradually coming to resemble a traditional European city — Vienna or Paris in the nineteenth century, or, for that matter, Paris today. The poor and the newcomers are living on the outskirts. The people who live near the center — some of them black or Hispanic but most of them white — are those who can afford to do so."
Of course, this is a stark reversal from the decades of "white flight" that re-shaped the demographics of American cities.
