'White fortress' cities rising up across the South

Exclusive majority-white cities are springing up across the South as wealthy communities attempt to break away from poorer black neighborhoods in a bid to conserve their resources.

Residents in some privileged enclaves argue they should not be forced to subsidize their more impoverished neighbors through tax dollars.

The phenomenon has been termed 'White Fortressing' by Urban Institute scholar Luisa Godinez-Puig.
