The West Coast never had abandoned zones. Not even Oakland, or Watts. The housing markets were always tighter, and Mexican immigration usually filled vacancies.
Alnd urban prairies are almost always poor black neighborhoods. San Diego doesn't have black neighborhoods, of any type, in 2022. I believe there were a few majority or plurality black census tracts east of downtown in previous decades, but no longer.
