[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get why he is doing it. To preserve the character of the neighborhood. Laudible. That said it is covertly racist. I doubt that he even realizes. [/quote]

I missed the part of the listing that says that a black person cannot buy the house. Can you point it out?[/quote]

That would be overtly racist. Covertly racist is when the effect disproportionately effects people of color even if the intent was otherwise. For example, public schools pursuant to federal standards require milk as the drink. Why?  It’s not health, although milk has healthy components. It’s because the dairy industry lobbied harder than the orange industry.  Did you know that less than 10% of white people are lactose intolerant, approximately 50% of black people are lactose intolerant and over 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant.

I am presuming that the covenant is not intended as racist but it is rather indisputable that single family houses in will attract a higher percentage of white buyers than multi family in the same location. [/quote]

Your argument only holds if the MM units were affordably priced. However, this SFH would be replaced with, at minimum, two units that would EACH sell for 1.2M. Look at ARL real estate for proof. [/quote]

Under this absurd logic basically everything is racist or discriminatory. There is not a single policy that has the same impact on every age group, gender, ethnicity etc. Your definition of racism is so expansive that it is practically meaningless. There are many other policy goals that have nothing to do with race and not everything is about race. If you want to play this game, the MM zoning changes are actually racist because they will disproportionately incentivize development of more affordable single family neighborhoods that have more minority households. The overall effect will be gentrification and displacement of minorities. The rich white neighborhoods with 4M homes will see very little of this development. Ultra-luxury single family is more profitable to develop in those areas. [/quote]
