Racism and Public Resources

Marco Tabellini studied the impact of White Flight on public resources. He found:

  • White Flight leads to a decrease in property values, which leads to a decrease in property taxes, which leads to a decrease in public spending.
  • People of color are disproportionately impacted by the cuts: public education, garbage collection, etc. Public education is also where people of different races are more likely to interact.
  • Roads and other types of infrastructure are negligibly impacted
