This might be malicious of me but I found another way to maintain an almost 0 % segregation in the polygon experiment.
Turn the satisfaction threshold way up: "I'll move if less then 85% are like me". This resulted in constant movement.
But a different conclusion might be reached. Improve mobility (remote work, coworking spaces, high speed cheap eco friendly transportation, etc.) and the world might become more dynamic, and stable. This is a tech problem and it's something we can work on solving. Changing mentalities is not a tech problem.
Imagine if we had the technology to move entire dwellings as easy as packing a suitcase.
Even further, if we had teleportation, the notion of neighbourhood goes away, the entire world becomes your neighbour.
And lowering segregation by increasing mobility might result in gradually increasing tolerance (due to exposure), thereby further decreasing segregation.

Just my two cent ramblings.
