Grist: A new study of African-American residents leaving Austin for the suburbs shows that communities of color are being displaced not just in coastal cities such as Portland and Washington, D.C. but in Texas too. And in too many cases, this can mean a lower quality of life, with less access to amenities such as supermarkets and green spaces.
