There are barren places all over this planet where once flourished great cities. Carthage, Detroit,...
The problem with “Productive Flight” (or what some call ‘White Flight’), is that eventually you run out of places to flee to.
As a practical matter, it looks like we are heading for civil war.
You don’t want any more of your own people to be collateral damage than you can avoid so if conservatives want to live in cities they should wait until new ones are built after the war.
And it looks like it's working, which is why unemployment is the lowest it has been in decades for minorities. This probably helps to explain has Trump has better support in the black community than any republican in a couple of generations (yes, it's still a low level of support, but higher than what others have had).

They don’t and shouldn’t. Cities are liberal by their very definition. They are a Ponzi scheme where growth and more congestion is necessary to keep them afloat. Cities enrich those that control the city but few else.
