But it still wouldn't mask the evaporation of the creamy yellow.
Outside of the usual suspect "cop and firemen hoods" out on the edges, it seems like we'll have to settle for temporary and shifting transitional creamy yellows along the battle lines between dark blue and deep orange.

That might be true. . . but in the last 20 years this is what I'm seeing:
a) Slum adjacent go from creamy yellow to rich blue
---I'm looking at all the Near West side all the way up to Logan Square and Albany Park and everything surrounding Uptown and Rogers Park
b) Slum build up vacant properties flipping to desirable
---Looking at Tri-Taylor, East Humboldt Park, Oakland, South Austin
c) Super slum disappears completely and is built up at varying degrees of completion
---Cabrini Green, Stateway Gardens/Federal Homes all other housing projects that have since been demolished. . .
The one thing I'm not seeing is the creamy yellow turning into red. . . at least not on the surface, but clearly the numbers adjusted for inflation say otherwise. . .
That's just my pedestrian view on the built environment as I'm driving (ironically) down the street. . .
