Redlining has not had universally [negative](https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=4/41.223/-105.503&text=intro) results. In Denver, Boston, Portland, and Minneapolis areas that were redlined have higher home values than in areas that were not. In most places areas that are undesirable for various reasons will stay that way. However, there are lots of areas where gentrification is making undesirable areas more desirable.
