I'm dense and not an academic, so specific pages/graphs/paragraphs in research papers would be really, really helpful. (I've only seen research showing the opposite of these kinds of claims. And yes I agree that science is fallible, but anecdotal evidence is more fallible.)

there is literally a history of it to read, many of the articles linked talk about tenants groups and communities of color and the work they've been doing to protect themselves for years against moneyed interests. i have faith in your google ability, educate yourself.

As a data analysts, I hope you would agree with me that research and analysis matters. Not to say that having concerns isn't valid, especially with the history. It matters greatly that we get the policy right. But by the same token, I would hope you would do your own research.

i'm sorry that an outpouring of communities that have been affected by this type of development is not enough for you. i don't really know what to tell you other than to keep reading their stories and listening to what they say.

Not Jim, I understand the political history, the sentiment, and we both agree there needs to be more listening. But I'd challenge you: if you can't find the data to back up your views, maybe you should keep looking?

the data exists, and we've pointed you to it, but it doesn't seem that you value it. https://www.antievictionmap.com/

Not Jim, please show me. I don't see any data on this website that shows the displacement impact of removing exclusionary zoning.

Not Jim, I have spent too much time on that document, and as far as I can tell the data and analysis does not exist. If you know otherwise, please show me.

to start, you can read studies of other American rezonings and their equity failures: "Game of Zones", by Leo Goldberg "Zoned Out: Race, Displacement, and City Planning in New York City" by Tom Angotti et al and this:http://apps.bostonglobe.com/spotlight/boston-racism-image-reality/series/seaport/ …

“Another explanation for the Seaport’s lack of diversity is economic. Condominium and apartment prices are sky high. Blame…the proximity to Logan…which imposes strict limits blocking construction of taller buildings in the Seaport that could pack in more units.“

incredible to me that you read a giant investigative piece about structural racism in the planning of a neighborhood and *that's* what you plucked out of it

I also used to work in the Seaport. what's going up there are primarily 20-story residential towers. no one's building Victorians there
