MoCo was nearly 100% white in the era post-Civil rights. [b]There hasn't been redlining or exclusionary zoning or segregation since POCs started moving into the County[/b]. But please proceed with your ignorance. [/quote]

...because they were prohibited from moving in.

Are you dense? It’s been nearly 50 years since this was practiced. Of course there previously was exclusionary zoning before that for the entire county. The point is, that hasn’t been the case for last 50 years which is why there has been a significant demographic shift in many areas of the county. And in the others, none of those policies apply because the practices have been illegal. [/quote]

You don't think what happened 50 years ago has an effect on people's wealth today? Smh[/quote]

Yes. I do think it had an impact on people’s wealth. But you’re conflating two things. You seem to be under the impression that it’s exclusionary zoning and redlining that has kept property prices high for the last 50 years. The point is POCs have been moving into all areas of the county since the post civil rights era and nothing has prevented them from buying homes in these areas except the necessary down payment and ability to afford the mortgage. Has there been a historical disparity in wealth in this country due to discrimination? Absolutely. But please stop wielding that racism and redlining trope for a set of policies that have been dead for 50 years. They can move to any area in the county at any time and I’d welcome them with open arms. The current disparities in demographics are due to historic differences in wealth, not redlining, especially in the time since those practices were made illegal. [/quote]

What in the world are you talking about?[/quote]

Kind of a self-own wrt your reading comprehension there, champ.[/quote]

No, the statement "The current disparities in demographics are due to historic differences in wealth, not redlining, especially in the time since those practices were made illegal" makes no sense[/quote]

DP but “redlining generated differences in wealth that persist even after redlining as a policy ended.”[/quote]
