- But that's just one of the motivations or reasons. Other ones would be lack of money to settle in predominantly native neighborhoods or being rejected in those areas and native populations moving away when migrant populations cross certain thresholds. The other two issues I mentioned would be helped by the policies in the op (I think)
- It seems like you are conflating auto-segregation with actual segregation
I don't really understand exactly what you mean by this, but the gentrification that often occurs when poorer minority areas start becoming more affluent, is still better than those areas simply remaining grossly impoverished and neglected, thus lending to more displacement, crime, mental and physical health issues, lack of opportunity etc.
When a certain minority area reaches a higher level of affluence and white people start moving in again (which is generally a sign the location is beginning to economically flourish), that often lends to certain pockets of minority communities financially benefiting, with potentially further economic ramifications to the wider community.
Eg they acquire their residential property and then when the prices increase due to gentrification, they sell at a healthy mark up and then move to a less expensive area, having enough money to invest in a business, investments or whatever else, and also bring some of their family, friends etc on board too.
On your final point, I don't believe I'm confusing anything. This policy threatens to force segregation based on ethnicity, essentially mandating certain minorities having to live in predominantly white and presumably poor areas (I doubt they're going to situate them in luxury areas), which as mentioned, can sometimes have a different string of hugely detrimental impacts to said minorities. It's not like all in those types of estates are likely to be the most welcoming to minorities.
My aunty (originally from Bangladesh) was moved to a 99% white populated poor council estate, and
the very FIRST day they moved in, some youths broke in armed with golf clubs, beat my uncle up, and berated them telling them pakis weren't welcome. So me and a bunch of family had to stay around for their protection, but police got involved, had to constantly check up, even literally park up outside the property for huge amounts of time, though she was thankfully fairly quickly relocated to a slightly more diverse council block.
Funny how the incident never made it to local papers, or The Sun, Daily Mail etc. But this is the kind of shit minorities/immigrants etc have to often deal with, and why staying in a more diverse or like cultured location, can in its own ways be so beneficial, at least early on anyway (my aunty now lives in a better area due our family improving their financial situation and including them in businesses).
