DEI is the real cause of America’s housing crisis
Census data reveals 15 million more housing units than households, contradicting activist claims of supply crisis; The shortage is a myth created by activists so they can force residential living patterns to conform to DEI dogma. Today’s activists have abandoned that sensible framework. Instead, they want to eliminate disparities in living patterns by lowering community standards through government coercion. Their chief target is local zoning laws, which serve the important function of maintaining community character. It’s why Washington, D.C., which bans skyscrapers, doesn’t look like Manhattan. New York City’s Economic Development Corporation exemplifies this approach, scolding neighborhoods like the Upper East Side, SoHo and the West Village for "restrictive land use regulations" that limit density. They explicitly note that "Community Districts producing the least affordable housing are disproportionately white." Their demographic focus reveals the true agenda.
