As your links point out, much as it was about "light and air" it was also about keeping out poor people and undesired races. The first zoning laws in SF were used to selectively drive out Chinese people. Just want to make sure that this often hidden part of zoning is above the fold. It's also largely why racial segregation and housing wealth has not changed at all over the past 50 years. The laws are used to prevent integrations if communities, ensure that infrastructure like schools are unevenly distributed, and enforce our current racial divisions. |
