White Flight 2.0 | Opinion

White Flight 2.0 | Opinion On 4/7/21 at 1:30 PM EDT During New York City s white flight in the 1970s, my white Jewish middle-class family did the opposite. When most people moved to the comforts of the suburbs, we moved to central Brooklyn from Queens. Crime was rampant, schools had magnet programs and we managed to make a vibrant life for ourselves. A few decades later through gentrification, Brooklyn, as we knew it, dramatically changed. Some say for the better, but was it? Now with the pandemic allowing many privileged white-collar workers to work from home, once again the whites are fleeing the city. Story after story were written about these people leaving. We read about how they are moving to their second home or trapped in Tahoe. But what about the real New Yorkers? I think in some mysterious way COVID-19 is allowing our city to get back to itself.
