That is the way it’s going for cities.
They will become the ‘Wild West’ where no honest or decent person would want to live, work or invest.
But there are cities where it is still expensive and safe to live, so far. Inner Loop Houston, Manhattan, etc. Dallas has expensive safe rich areas. I think all cities do. I don’t know exactly where the inner city ghettos are compared to the inner city rich areas.
But the rich “safe” areas of Houston have been getting robbed a lot lately. Home burglaries, etc.
It happened in Claremont Ca, too. Rich little college town... Houses were getting broken into by day while people were at work. Businesses were getting broken into at night, while they were closed.
They started catching some of those thieves, mostly from nearby towns, like Pomona.

Yes, that is the way here in NJ. One small section of Jersey City was gentrified, but otherwise they are horrible. Asbury Park even got listed on a website for ghost towns...
