Segregation in our neighborhoods remains. And where we have had "integration" in low income communities, it has been through displacement driven by scarcity. We have seen wealthier residents "returning" to inner cities, only to see this push out existing residents.
Meanwhile, places with jobs, quality schools and public services, places like Cupertino and Palo Alto, have blocked the production of housing, maintaining their "way of life," which has meant maintaining segregation and exclusion.
We must build abundant housing for all. We must build all kinds of housing, especially in our wealthiest communities to right this wrong. We must commit ourselves to erasing the racial wealth gap and making public schools serve the public equally. Separate is not equal.
No longer can we allow exclusionary communities to quietly pull up the drawbridge under the guise of "preserving neighborhood character." Abundant housing for all is a moral imperative. We can and must right the wrongs of segregation.
