The most glaring example of what happens due to white flight is Cairo, Illinois. It was never a big city, but it had long been a thriving small town. Race problems kicked up, blacks started burning homes and businesses, and the white people just left.
Now the place is a virtual ghost town. There's still about 1500 people kicking around there. But there's nothing there. Not even a grocery store.
For some reason a bank keeps a small branch there. But in 2014 a black man robbed it and stabbed two white women to death who worked there.
