Rich people still live up and down hwy 30 and 44 by chemical plants today so that may be part of the reason but we all know what the main reason is.

you're thinking way too simple
most of the historically white neighborhoods now scene as blight were caused by industrialization, inner city interstate systems, and forced (bused) desegregation of public schools
you are viewing the unattended consequences and ignoring the precursors
the same scenario played out in basically every city across America in the 50s and 60s
