Across the US, White neighborhoods have more greenery, fewer dilapidated buildings, fewer multi-family homes: Study

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.

Geez.....because of things like pride in ownership (even if not owned, but rented), responsibility, desire for cleanliness and decent looking surroundings....

I know....all of that is so racist, and,shaming, right?

“The largest disparities in neighborhood environments were reflected in green space and non-single family homes”

green space will get you killed

So, is the proposed solution that blacks plant some trees and stop neglecting their buildings? Yeah, didn’t think so.

When the sweet science of Physics becomes woke ideology it’s no longer sweet or science.

Article: “other racist policies”

That is one possible explanation.

They managed to ignore a lot of other possible explanations....

Burying their heads in the sand is why problems don’t get fixed.

Yes, no wrapped up used diapers, fast food wrappers, broken glass, dead bodies (animal and human) in the street, no smell of garbage or pot.

Yeah that’s what whites start moving out when blacks start moving in. The neighborhood gets trashed. This has to do with culture not color. Unfortunately, America has decided to embrace the culture that’s creates a disaster. Dems have promoted the hideous ideas to promote this condition.

A study was required? Lol. Why not just skip spending money on this crap and just write stories that scream racism. I’ll admit I’m racist just to get them from wasting tax dollars.

Semi-funny personal story … when one of my daughters had motivation problems doing school work (we homeschooled) I took her on a field trip the nearest ghetto. I told her that children who don’t study end up living in neighborhoods like that.
