I think you have it backward. Neighborhoods are already well past their peak when the ethnicity begins to shift more toward the black end of the spectrum. Unfortunately, many black people don't have that much money (or else we wouldn't be sitting here talking about this), so they can't afford housing on the upswing. Even if they could, the value wouldn't stay there because white folks (at least in the South) scatter when they have a black neighbor, which only makes the problem worse. What goes around comes around, though. In downtown Atlanta, many of the white residents (such as myself) are moving in from the suburbs because traffic is so bad. People are paying top dollar to move into 'black' neighborhoods to live closer to their jobs. And believe it or not, there's organized black opposition to this phenomenon ... exactly like the whites did 30 years ago. People never change!
