The 10 US cities where it's hardest to build affordable housing
The nation's capitol and its surrounding suburbs have the most restrictive and exclusionary zoning of any metropolitan area in the US, according toand database created by The Eviction Lab at Princeton University.
But restrictive zoning isn't limited to major coastal cities. The Midwestern cities of Milwaukee and Detroit are also among the top 10 most exclusionary areas. . These regulations, which include single-family zoning, minimum lot sizes, and building height restrictions, were originally designed to maintain racial segregation in residential communities across the country. Even in the modern context where explicit discrimination is no longer legal, restrictive residential zoning creates and perpetuates racial and socio-economic segregation by keeping poor, Black, and brown residents out of wealthier, disproportionately white neighborhoods.
