History Matters
Exclusionary zoning is a rule about how land can be used. It lets builders not include cheaper, affordable homes in certain places. This has often stopped people with less money and communities of color from living in neighborhoods where people have more money. It also means that cheaper housing or housing with special lower prices is only found in certain parts of cities. This leads to less money and care going into these areas.
