My own thoughts are that the poorer groups (be they black, hispanic, white, whatever) live in some delusion that by moving to a "better" neighborhood, life will improve. It doesn't matter so much where you live as how you live. So yes, if they move to a "nice" neighborhood but continue the lifestyle they had in the old one things will not improve.

So, based on whats I've read in the article, I don't think the minority group has a case. The police seem to be responding to complaints from the community as well as a rise in the crime rate that corresponds with the change in demographics of the comunity.
