The Reality Of Housing Segregation

It was really disheartening to hear how some people are still unaware of the issue of housing segregation. Living in Bedstuy, I have seen firsthand the effects of gentrification. From the increase in property value, the pushing out of minority communities to the increase in bodega prices. It’s so crazy to me that people still get upset and make the comment that race doesn’t need to be brought into everything. But this housing issue highlights that race littery affects everything. Professor Collin’s research is inspiring and I hope more people are informed about this important issue.

One thought on “The Reality Of Housing Segregation

  1. I agree that it is disheartening to witness the gentrification that is becoming more common as the world progresses. I think that it is an issue that is not addressed enough in the media simply because it is too “controversial” for certain groups. But I think that it is something that needs to be addressed because it is quite literally affecting the lives of many.
