The California Reparations Task Force is proposing a number of changes alongside an estimated $800 billion in monetary reparations payments, including controversial housing policies.
of the task force's reparations proposal covers a number of demands in regard to housing, including one provision which would have all municipalities turn over their residential land use ordinances to a state agency to review. The agency would have to approve each ordinance and could reject them if they are found to"exacerbate levels of residential racial segregation.
The proposal also takes issue with crime-free housing policies, which bar renters with a criminal history, or cause renters to face eviction if they become involved in any crimes or drug-related activities. The report alleges that the practice is racist because the proportion of white renters evicted isn't proportional to their share of the population. It also takes issue with chronic nuisance ordinances, which encourage landlords to make excessive noise an evictable offense.
