White flight fueled the growth of additional cities
Without white flight, places like Fort Worth, Charlotte, Tulsa, Des Moines, Sioux Falls, Indianapolis, Nashville, Raleigh, Kansas City, Austin, etc. etc. etc. would be far smaller than they are now, both in population and being built up.
Dallas would still be at least the second most populous city in Texas, if not the first, and we wouldn't even hear of DFW besides the airport - Fort Worth would be the equivalent of Denton or Plano without white flight.
Suburbia would also not be nearly as extensive without white flight. Warren, Michigan would still be irrelevant with a white Detroit, Eastpointe would still be named East Detroit since Detroit wouldn't acquire the connotations it has today, Atlanta's suburbs wouldn't be leaking into Alabama, etc. etc. etc.
America would be geographically much more rural if white flight never happened, while at the same time its core cities circa 1950 would be even more urban than they are today - imagine Detroit, St. Louis, and Baltimore full of skyscrapers and Eurasian style public transit (even if just buses) instead of having skylines that look like they stopped developing in 1980 and being dependent on cars and planes.
Thoughts?
