One of the most obvious signs of discrimination is seen in housing. But it also exists, not so obviously, in our government and other institutions and the decisions they make. One can only wonder as to why code enforcement, for instance, isn't as well enforced in the city when it comes to housing. A significant number of our students have to live in environments that are both lead and fire risks. Why is that? Why are so many landlords in the city given a pass? Why are they still allowed to rent units that don't meet safety standards?? Just crossing the city line can be a stunner. What government policies are or are not being followed?
