Oops, We Did #Redlining Again
A recent academic paper published last month found that the variables rewarded by #WalkScore disproportionally led to the #Chicago census tracts with the highest share of white residents being ranked the highest. However, the #realestate metric doesn't account for vehicle-pedestrian crash rates or how many residents walk rather than drive.

Redlining wasn’t a fluke—it was federal policy. Black and immigrant neighborhoods were labeled “too risky” for loans. The wealth gap was built on maps. #Redlining #BannedHistory #HousingJustice

It seems like vouchers would be even more effective at segregating #schools than the hangover of #redlining we have, if bringing back segregation is your thing.

I grew up in #HydePark right by #WashingtonPark - by which I mean I was like two blocks away. My entire life there have been profound issues with lack of #AccessToHealthcare on the South and West sides due to histories of #redlining and other facets of #StructuralRacism which is why it is infuriating but not surprising that the South Suburbs are in the same boat.

Global Public Health: Using internet-assisted geocoding of 1940 census addresses to reconstruct enumeration districts for use with redlining and longitudinal health datasets. “Merged data could reveal social determinants of health, health and social policy milieu, life course events, and selection effects otherwise masked in longitudinal datasets.

I-75, I-85 & I-20 are racist and a continuation of colonialism.

Redlining was the geofencing.

"Critically, the proposed legislation includes provisions aimed at protecting communities from #bluelining — the emerging practice of financial institutions “increas[ing] prices or withdrawing services from regions they perceive to be at high environmental risk.” Bluelining overlaps with the same racist patterns of disinvestment established by #redlining, the “systemic practice of excluding communities of color from economic opportunities based on their race.”
