EQUITY AND INCLUSION -- Part 3

Planning, Zoning and other Land Use Policy Best Practices to Erase Errors of the Past that Perpetuated Bias and Deepened Inequality

This year has been like no other. 

Mass protests have underscored the endless inequity and brutality killing, injuring and forever damaging people of color. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vast inequities in terms of higher infection rate with lower access to crucial health care, as well as higher incidence of unemployment exacerbated by a frayed and shrinking safety net. 

Also, 2020 marked the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 

A sad fact for those who believed 30 years of federal civil rights protection would result in something better than people with disabilities hunting for housing when less than one percent of it is move-in ready accessible for them.
