My point was, the term "upscale" was invented so that whites who did not move to the intermountain West, a gated community, or Northern New England could tell where it was not "the wrong place" to be.
Since the Short Hills carjack murder, and now this, "upscale" will no longer serve that function.
My guess is that you will see further population movement and that "upscale" white areas in proximity to large numbers of blacks will shrink.
But something else could happen.

The fact is that in the ghettoes anything not nailed down will be stolen (the residents are more wary), so these war parties have to follow the prey/loot. If the Short Hills Mall was 100 miles away from Newark, they would still find a way to get there (stolen car, mass transit, mom’s car - as was the case in Short Hills). Like migrating geese following food, our permanent unassimilated criminal class goes “where the money is”.
