addressing the effects of racism in 20th century American housing policy probably requires targeted reparations based on comparative lack of historical home equity appreciation between redlined and non-redlined tracts of housing.

I think we should have a "race and class" version of EIR in city planning, which is what Angotti pushes for in Zoned Out: "if land speculation encourages landlords around a newly upzoned area to kick out tenants can they actually move into what you're building"

Intended goal: nobody should ever be priced out of a neighborhood due to construction Possibly unintended result: nothing is ever constructed

Nobody can be priced out of Presidio Terrace by development, because there are (probably?) no renters and property taxes are fixed by Prop 13

right, my end run around "nothing is ever constructed" being decommodifying housing and land so what is or isn't constructed isn't subordinated to the profit logic of folx like our president and his lovely, wholesome family business

Wonderful how any craven instinct can translated into painfully boring text about Floor Area Ratios.

I happen to think rezoning for luxury towers only white people can live in is the hot new version of redlining, but to your point it is a credit to the Trumps that they appear to be too dumb to know how to pull it off:pic.twitter.com/ewrjvOCK4h

If you actually zoom in on the Census tracts in the Haight on this http://www.antievictionmappingproject.net/black.html the biggest declines happen between 1980-2000. Nothing was really built then. Community was displaced by Redevelopment & everything in adjacent neighborhoods was downzoned.

those displaced became renters, who couldn't compete with earlier waves of gentrifiers. The racial housing wealth gap is the housing wealth gap and it reasserts itself regardless of zoning. Downzoning, upzoning.
