Apparently there's a city study committee in Seattle that believes the concept of single-family zoning is racist.
According to a committee draft report obtained by the Seattle Times, “Seattle (single-family) zoning has roots in racial and class exclusion and remains among the largest obstacles to realizing the city’s goals for equity and affordability.”
The committee's apparent desire to fundamentally change Seattle zoning ordinances comes at a time the Obama administration, via HUD, plans to use zoning and other tactics to "diversify" established neighborhoods across the nation that fail to meet some government Utopian standard regarding racial and income diversity.
