"There's still a lack of fundamental understanding that this #CityBuilding is to help address #ClimateChange. #BikeLanes are an obvious example. They became significant wedge issues for politicians going into municipal elections from Paris to Canadian cities like #Calgary, #Edmonton, #Toronto etc."

@ned This is Redlining. A racist, segregation practice that was observed in both Canada and the US.

I think the practice was much more well documented in the US mainly because the practice was highlighted in an obtuse fashion with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. A black child was denied enrolment to a school that was closer to her home because it was a school in a white neighbourhood and was effectively a white school. So the public school system enrolled the child to a black school much farther away.

This triggered a constitutional challenge against what was a practice of segregation. What this revealed was a wide spread, systematic practice of banks, realtors, and other service providers that effectively pinned people by race and forced them to live in specific neighbourhoods. But, like many things systemically broken about the US, the Supreme Court simply acknowledged the issue without providing any meaningful solution.

Safe to say that the practice continues in various forms on both sides of the border into the modern day.
