Urban flight to the suburbs...
Urban flight to the suburbs created a major economic crisis in many cities. Abandoned apartment buildings, houses, and businesses stand as silent testimony to once thriving neighborhoods and urban communities. Only recently has the migration away from cities declined. Slowly, people are returning and trying to rehabilitate and rebuild. Some are calling these urban areas America's new frontier --an uninhabited and desolate area to be homesteaded and settled. Those brave enough to try it come because they believe that neighborhoods can be reestablished and community reclaimed.
