I live in Chicago now and it reminds me of a guy I see on the train sometimes. He always starts his spiel with "3 days homeless!" and it's like, dude, we all ride the same train and see you all the time.

Reply to comment by encisera in Skeleton reveals lifestyle of medieval woman - BBC News by Mundane_Practice1
We don't even have to go back in time far to explain that. In 1969 a nun at a Catholic all girl's high school in Baltimore was murdered for helping the victims of sexual abuse at her school. Turns out multiple priests were sexually abusing the underage students and prostituting them out to others, and the nun was the only one who listened and wanted to help. No one was ever charged with a crime.
Now imagine it's medieval Europe, there's nowhere to run, and Monsieur Pedo has the power to imprison you and have you tortured.

Without any sort of public announcement, Irsay hired movers to pack up the team's offices in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the middle of the night, while the city of Baltimore slept. by DfcukinLite
We already know all about it:
>White flight or white exodus is the sudden or gradual large-scale migration of white people from areas becoming more racially or ethnoculturally diverse. Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, the terms became popular in the United States. They referred to the large-scale migration of people of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban or exurban regions. The term has more recently been applied to other migrations by whites, from older, inner suburbs to rural areas, as well as from the U.S. Northeast and Midwest to the milder climate in the Southeast and Southwest....

>The business practices of redlining, mortgage discrimination, and racially restrictive covenants contributed to the overcrowding and physical deterioration of areas with large minority populations. Such conditions are considered to have contributed to the emigration of other populations. The limited facilities for banking and insurance, due to a perceived lack of profitability, and other social services, and extra fees meant to hedge against perceived profit issues, increased their cost to residents in predominantly non-white suburbs and city neighborhoods.
