There's a reversal of sorts going on in cities across america. A gentrification of sorts. The once 'bad neighborhoods' are undergoing a change,a refurbishing by the yuppies,local government,etc. Places like Harlem,NY and Philadelphia,etc.
So now the would-be suburbanites are now sticking with the city and the once inner-city minorities are now heading out to the suburbs.

That is very true here in Atlanta. However, a lot of the white, middle-class households that are relocating to intown neighborhoods don't have kids. Will we ever see a trend of white, middle-class families moving to intown neighborhoods?

They got plenty of that in Philadelphia and it's just a big mess! Lots of young kids running around with nowhere to go and nothing better to do than to loiter,vandalize etc.
I'm not sure in any big city your going to find wealthy people. aand even like you said Detroit. I might be wrong but I am pretty sure William Pulte lives in Detroit. he his worth 1.5 billion right now.
Pulte lives in Bloomfield Hills.....
Where in the heck would you think that he would live in Detroit?? His own abandoned skyscraper??

I was not aware that there was a problem with loitering toddlers in Center City. The poster was talking about families with school aged children returning to the city. To answer his/her/their question, you will see it when a truely good school opens in a safe area. The reversal of neighborhoods begins with pioneers-->gays-->artists-->yuppies-->a few wealthy people
-->families. IMO, the trend grows exponentially. Alot of places seem to be in the gay/artist stage, and quite a few have achieved the status of yuppified.
Once a good school opens in a yuppified area, you will generally begin to bring back families.

I did not say that there were toddlers in center city(?!) I was saying that there are already families in the surrounding neighborhoods mostly with children aged 9-teens(what happens before and after don't ask me),that are crammed into these tight city blocks. I keep saying that once people can afford to have a family and do not need to work in the city,to just progress into the suburbs or outlying areas where there is more room to raise a normal family and not end up with kids with unhealthy socialization and thus end up with criminals,drug dealers etc.

All I could find was information saying that he lives in Bloomfield hills. I just can't possibly imagine him living in Detroit. If by chance he did (which he does'nt) he would be one of the less than 5% white that lives in the city.
