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

It seems pretty important to me that the article says that upzoning could have helped make the situation better!

so you're saying because the 30 story towers weren't 40 stories or the 40 story tower wasn't 50 stories that racism happened ok

No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying what the article said: that upzoning can be a tool to make housing more affordable, and therefore neighborhoods more diverse. It’s one tool of many. Obviously the failures of the Seaport go far beyond zoning.
