Many foreign-born Blacks have been leaving Florida too. Some Haitians I've met living in Atlanta have relocated from Florida. Among the reasons, a lower cost of living.

Houston,Texas has a large Nigerian population, among the largest in the USA.

According to this, you can watch online for free HBO Documentaries San Francisco 2.0 HDTV Watch Online Free | Putlocker - Watch Movies Online Free

The documentary interviews Black and Hispanic people (and many others) who have been affected by the arrival of tech companies to the area. SF has been expensive for a while because there's just no place to build but in recent years, companies have moved north from the Silicon Valley, and are outpricing everyone.

People should avoid NYC, DC SF and Boston outright all together due to high cost of living. If anyone wants to get ahead in these cities needs lots of capital, have a degree from an Ivy League or top college like Stanford or Georgetown or have an advanced degree.

Some of the Black immigrants are moving back to the Caribbean.

This is true and you might add Los Angeles into that mix as well.

I also notice this. Any city that has become a major tech/finance center has seen a decline in its Black population. This has happened in NYC. This has happened in San Francisco. In SF, there wasn't much of a foreign-born Black population there, so that city's Black population has dropped dramatically.
Add media to your comments. NYC and LA are media centers and they have decline in their Black populations. In order to get jobs in these fields one needs a high level of education. If you waved a magic wand and got rid of all discrimination today, there's still the fact that Black urban populations disproportionately had low levels of education.
