Historic redlining and other racist policies have led to present-day racial and economic segregation and disinvestment in many cities across the United States. Research has shown how neighborhood characteristics and resources are associated with health disparities such as preterm birth and asthma, but most of these studies are limited in scale and overlook many aspects in a neighborhood that are difficult to measure, including dilapidated buildings and crosswalks.
Now, a new study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and the Center for Antiracist Research (CAR) at Boston University (BU) has utilized panorama digital technology through Google Street View (GSV) to identify these neighborhood characteristics on a national scale and shed light on how they contribute to racial and ethnic disparities in local resources and health outcomes across the US.
Published in the journal JAMA Network Open, the study found that predominantly White neighborhoods had better neighborhood conditions generally associated with good health, such as fewer neglected buildings and multi-family homes, and more greenery than neighborhoods with residents who were primarily Black, of other minority races, or of a variety of races and ethnicities.

Those homes, trees, and nice clean lawns do not appear by magic. People work to buy those homes, and then they maintain them, they plant trees and bushes, and they mow their lawns almost weekly. They also do not dump their trash out the front or back door and expect the fairies to do away with it.
If you decide to go on the government teat, you get to live in a multi-family building and hope someone else does the necessary maintenance. The tax payers fund it all for you, so why be so greedy?
It’s all really that simple!
Work.
Probably because we buy and maintain our own.
OMG! REPARATIONS NOW!!!!!!!!
So what!?
Our former Black, now Hispanic, neighborhood is looking much better. After all, they are the people doing most of the construction, landscaping, and related work in the area.
“The neighborhood gets trashed.”
Well since we are doing “science” here let us be more precise in identifying the “issue”:
—Garbage in streets
—Garbage on lawns
—Noise at all hours of the night
—Gunshots coming from homes and drive-by cars
—Poor home maintenance
—Poor lawn maintenance
—Drug paraphernalia appears in neighborhood
—Children and teenagers playing in the middle of the street
—Cars parked in the middle of the street blocking traffic
—Adults talking loudly/yelling at each other—inside and out
—Home break ins
—Vehicle break ins
—Men outside harassing women who walk by
Feel free to add to the list.
They make these blanket statements without any proof, just plop these turds out there. The Fair Housing Act was made law over 50 years ago.
Think about nature. Some birds such as purple martins prefer to live in public housing. Other birds such as ravens prefer a solitary rural existence. Species of people are the same. Different species, different customs.
White people rule .... Whoohooo!!

Aka
Lieing commie academic ccp fronts with disparate propaganda.
Drinking in public. Lazy and unemployed. Rude filthy language. The list goes on and on.
I would add graffiti to the list.
Always an indicator of a "sketchy" neighborhood.
Pronounced as "CAHH"?
No kidding.
Don’t be diss’n tha hood, We like it like dat.
It’s a cultural thing.
In my white neighborhood we have four white families, 3 black families, 2 hispanic families a Pakistani family and a Japanese family. Nice and green and well maintained and not much litter.
Do you know what else we have less of? Feral humans inciting violence on their fellow citizens
Less crime. Fewer gangs. Fewer drug dealers
Who would’ve guessed
This done sounds like we need some reparations!
