Maybe, just not sure how you inferred that from the article you linked. But I haven't read anything about it, and perhaps you have.
It is curious they announced this in Chicago as a great deal of the trouble they have with gun crime is their move in the late 90's and early 00's to tear down public housing and spread the residents out around the city. It has blurred the lines of gang territory and helped create the problem they now have.

Uh, I quoted the part that said exactly what the federal govt is going to do. Census data will be used to identify and target areas which "need diversity", racial, ethnic and socioeconomic. Cities will be penalized if they don't make progress towards achieving "goals" of integration and parity. Inference is not needed.

People and capital are mobile. If you move shitty people into my neighborhood, I'll move.

Livingston Parish is going to prosper.

Though I'm not saying that this will change - it is entirely possible for both people and capital to be highly restricted to low-exit cicrumstances. Stranger things have happened.

Very true. They talked about that on "Chicagoland". Should have left them in the projects.

To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "People find a way."
When the courts moved to deseg St. Louis a few decades ago, I'd guarantee they didn't think that the rural farm county across the river would become the fastest growing county in the state and would hold more people than St. Louis city does now.
You can't make people do stuff, even with government force. There's just unintended consequences. I don't say that to diminish the overreach. It's awful. I just say that to say that this will open up opportunities and growth for forward thinking individuals.
