It's almost impossible to read the timeline on a phone--a lot of weird jumping around, especially if you try to zoom in. Frequently it takes me back to the very beginning (swipe to view/OK).

Anon 1, if you want to see the timeline we posted at the event (which Kate used to create this wonderful interactive timeline), you can view it here: tiny.cc/MP_timeline. It should work on your phone.

Really important for us to remember our local history. A lot of us can still remember the days of redlining and segregation in California.

Fantastic bit of research! Thank you for writing and publishing. Many people have benefited from what we now know are discriminatory, or at least biased, housing practices.
I hope these can be counteracted somehow.

I think I speak for all the old-timers when I say I hope that our leaders will continue to: A) verbally denounce these outcomes, while simultaneously B) doing nothing of substance to allow a wide variety of housing to be developed. Symbolic gestures only, please!
