Follow me as I endeavor to find the cause of the divide in urban areas, otherwise classified as"The Hood".

One of the first cases of urban segregation in the government is shown under President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal which encouraged the white movement to the suburbs. Read more below.

Studies suggest that the more segregated a place, the more intense the personal bias of its police officers; the more pronounced that bias, the more it creeps into their interactions with black residents, with sometimes deadly results. Read more about it on NPR.

Heavy policing can limit minorities living options, can contribute to residential segregation in that area.

If selected other please respond to this tweet explaining why.

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

Redistricting: manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class.
Rezoning: The action or process of assigning land or property to a different category of restrictions on use and development.

Do you feel that redistricting and rezoning negatively impacts minority groups, especially those in an urban setting?

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

What do you believe is easier to change, modern de jure laws that promote Urban Segregation, or modern de facto thinking that reinforces the urban segregated mindset?

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

De Facto: Practices that exist in reality, even though they are not officially recognized by laws. It is commonly used to refer to what happens in practice.

De Jure: Practices that are legally recognized, regardless of whether the practice exists in reality.

"...steering them into segregated housing and labor markets and contributing to what the Kerner Commission in 1968 described as a nation "moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal."

White flight is both an example of de jure and de facto segregation
"During the Great Migration, both de jure and de facto segregation policies severely constrained the options of African-American migrants, ..."

Spatial segregation is both a reflection of the existing social structure and a mechanism to enforce that structure, thus raising the question of how and when segregation should be addressed.

Spatial segregation can be defined as exclusion and isolation among social groups.

If you feel that heavy policing is ineffective please try to provide what you believe is a better alternative? If you believe heavy policing in these areas are working in making the community feel safer, please elaborate on why you believe that and what you believe is working.

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

Do you believe that heavy policing or less policing is better for low-income areas? Do you feel it contributes to more or less crime in the community/make the community safer?

Do you believe that heavy policing is the status quo in an impoverished segregated urban area?

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

If yes do you believe that heavy policing contributes to keeping urban areas segregated and impoverished?

This process gives local governments full control over minorities' access to public services, political standings, and property values. Read more at https://t.co/HpTHQPW2TG

[Urban Segregation @urbanseparation]

Urban segregation is a process similar to Gerrymandering in both practice and inequality. According to researcher Ann Joyner "... local governments determine which areas are incorporated into a municipality through annexation and which are excluded".
