Put plainly the many wealthy neighborhoods in America today were not simply created by the zip code like-mindedness of hard working people outside of a vacuum of institutionalized inequality. Banks, lending institutions and insurance companies all conspired, vis a vis redlining, to systematically create areas of wealth. Of course two wrongs don’t make a right, so forcing certain areas to include low-income housing isn’t the desired answer either. Everyone wants to do better, but the right has never wanted to fully admit the “social engineering” that gave them the advantage they have in the first place. Let’s get rid of entitlements of every kind and then let the chips fall where they may. Blaming “leftist” ignores the reality that plain ole institutional racism is the real and ever present culprit in creating, and preventing, generational wealth.
