'Mass exodus'

[Lightspeed]

White flight is old news.

The thing is, with the established system that SD references, what it does is remove the 'wealthier' families, that are less likely to cause crime, while leaving just those poorer families whom have a higher average crime rate. What that means is, the 'good people' leave and the 'bad people' are left. Granted that's an over simplification, but cities are becoming a major ghetto. Technically the rural villages are also becoming wealthy ghettos too.

This is a vast over simplification Scythe.

Almost everyone of normal wealth has a large part of their wealth tied up in real estate. To join the White Flight, they first have to realise the value of that property, either by selling or renting out. Either way teh people moving into their vacated homes will also have to be wealthy in order to purchase or rent.

Its more a matter of old money moving out and new money ( and new morals and ideals) moving in.
