We can blame the inequity of
#mypokehood on the Ingress map alone—but it's a lot more systemic than that. This starts at pre-k tbh.1 reply 21 retweets 22 likes -

Several people have pointed out that developers didn't know that
#PokémonGO would be so big, and that it excuses the limited pokestops.2 replies 16 retweets 19 likes -

I STRONGLY disagree w that. It's 2016. Developers should *always* watch out for potential inequities, no matter how small or big market is.

Of course no one sat down and thought to create inequitable pokestops. The problem is they didn't stop to think about it at all!

Something else I learned about
#mypokehood is that a lot of suburbs don't have pokestops at all; they're concentrated in downtowns.3 replies 15 retweets 25 likes -

But many of the commercial areas/downtowns that should have pokestops don't have any at all. Those are the poc ones like where I live.

I do live close to two churches, and there are pokestops there. But I live DIRECTLY next to a school; no pokestop there.
