Free Screening of “Segregated by Design” (London Nelson, Sept 29th @ 6pm)
This month California took the biggest step yet toward ending segregationist single-family only zoning. Duplexes and lot splits are now LEGAL. And cities that want to allow up to ten homes on a lot will now be able to do so quicker and more efficiently.
Up to 75% of Santa Cruz is zoned for single-family homes, which limits the supply of housing and contributes to the affordable housing crisis. What is the origin of exclusionary zoning and other laws and policies that segregated our residential neighborhoods?
‘Segregated By Design’ examines the forgotten history of how our federal, state and local governments unconstitutionally segregated every major metropolitan area in America through law and policy.
This short animated documentary of zoning in the US is narrated by Richard Rothstein, author of “The Color of Law”
Come celebrate California's big step forward, watch and learn, and meet YIMBYs who say "Yes to People, Yes to Housing".
