Trees please: A move to reforest formerly redlined Great Lakes cities

By Brianna M. Lane Imagine a blazing hot summer day where sweat trickles down your body and drenches your clothes. As you look for a breeze that barely exists and shade that can hardly be found, noisy traffic drives through the neighborhood. Even the sidewalk is a constant source of heat. No one is hammocking in a park. There are barely any trees. If you add rising temperatures caused by climate change, these experiences of urban residents can be deadly. Climate change can increase temperatures in urban areas anywhere from 1 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit during the night, says the Environmental Protection Agency.

Federal Housing Discrimination Still Hurts Home Values in Black Neighborhoods

Federal Housing Discrimination Still Hurts Home Values in Black Neighborhoods Despite an urban real estate boom, the home-values gap for traditionally African-American neighborhoods is actually getting worse. April 26, 2018 • (Shutterstock) Housing values in American cities still break sharply along racial lines, showing the lingering impact of federal redlining in the 1930s, which devalued homes in African-American neighborhoods. The practice was outlawed decades ago, but its effects are still evident. In fact, according to a study published last week by real estate website Zillow, the disparity has grown even worse over the past two decades. More than 80 years ago, the government determined which neighborhoods it considered risky for federal mortgage loans, outlining the riskiest neighborhoods in red. The determining factor was largely race, regardless of the economic status of the residents.
