People started to move out when forced busing came in...Both middle class blacks and whites left.

Who wanted to put their 1st grade kid on a bus to be taken to a school an hour away, (via crowded traffic) to be with kids they didn't know..I was brought up in Detroit when it was a beautiful city, the 4th largest in population in the country..Married in 59 and move to the suburbs. It was too expensive to buy a home in the city...new subs north were a lot cheaper to buy...

In 1959 a new home, 1000 sq ft. was $13,000 dollars. Our second home was a 1800 sq ft colonial (we had 5 kids by then) and it cost $19,500.dollars....Now a days it looks like those prices are coming back, thank you Mr. President...NOT
