When did people start running away from the cities?
The OBVIOUS and CORRECT answer is when liberals started bussing in the public schools. For some reason, they felt that minority students would learn better if they spend 3 hours a day on a bus being sent to the white part of town. Like all liberal programs, it failed…but it changed cities in the United States forever.
Call it racism if you want, but because of liberals, white flight happened. Whites liked living where they did, they liked the schools that were in their communities, and they felt that things were going go change....and not for the better...
Here is what happened ONLY LAST NIGHT on the North side of Milwaukee...Was is wrong for the South side families to want to leave Milwaukee??? Is it racist to leave a community because you believe your school is about to lower in quality? I’m sure we will get Jay over here saying how racist this is…The actions of the people leaving might be racist, but me simply stating a FACT is not racist in anyway. If there is anyone who doesn’t believe this is why white people left in the 1970’s, tell me why they all left…

I'm trying to get back into the cities.
Small towns & the like are lame and boring.

I understand the motivation behind the busing, but this is simply another instance of a well-meaning government program generating a result the opposite of what was intended. Utopians were trying to increase integration and ended up decreasing it.
I won't deny the racist component to this. However, there are crime and quality of education issues that are correlated with it. If a white kid was transported to a school that was filled with predominantly Americans with Indian and Chinese ancestry, the parents would still be upset about having their kid on the bus for too long, but size of the exodus to other communities, ceteris paribus, would be diminished. If anything, we'd see Asian-flight to the suburbs, since Asians are less crime-prone and more serious about education than whites as things stand today.
A better way to integrate city education would involve school choice, tax credits for private education, and possibly vouchers.
WTF does that have to do with bussing students?
