As crime trend reverses, Americans begin to flee key major cities

Let's start a national program that relocates inner city populations to other parts of the country and make it so they can section 8 a home that rents for 6k per month.

all I see are democrat-run cities doing what they do best

Libs gonna lib.

They will escape the shithole they helped create by voting for Dems, then proceed to push for Dems and Dem policy in the nice place they escaped to.

The second chart in your link shows this isn't Americans "fleeing big cities," it's Americans moving South and West.

But many cities are on a strong growth trajectory. The cities losing population are cities that have been losing it for decades (Detroit, Baltimore, even Chicago peaked a long time ago).

Yeah I think this is mostly people from cities in the midwest/northeast leaving for cities in Texas, Florida, Colorado etc

There is also a geographic shift between regions going on (to warmer states). This is fundamentally different than white flight were that was a shift within a region.

One of the more interesting dynamics we will see play out over next couple of decades is urbanization vs. flight to suburbs. There are competing theories about which wins out as the preferred locale for the middle-upper class with different technological/economic developments.
