Abstract

Neighborhoods shape every element of our lives. Where we live de-termines economic opportunities; our exposure to police and pollution; and the availability of positive amenities for a healthy life. Home ineq-uity-both financial and racial-is not accidental. Federal government programs have armed white people with agency to construct "white" spaces while stigmatizing "Black" spaces. The urgency of addressing structural injustice in housing has been laid bare by police-involved shoot-ings and the disparate death rates linked to COVID-19.
