> The communities that hand-wring the most about predators and risks to children tend to be middle class, suburban, and white.

It's got nothing to do with race. Anyone who has the ability move out of a dangerous space does so, regardless of their race.

Getting them to move back in when they are perfectly fine where they are is the problem - they have no control over when and how the city may deteriorate again, and they don't want to have to take the chance of a large financial risk to move again.

It doesn't matter if cities are safe now; the suburban folk who move back in realise that they have no control over how safe it will remain.
