Restrictive covenants are bad for all of us. They prevent competition, stifle business growth and keep grocery prices high.
Part of the Alberta NDP’s Affordability Agenda is to get rid of restrictive covenants.

"I like my deportations quiet and humane" is just "I oppose racial segregation laws but I'm fine with restrictive covenants."

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s “totally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods
Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians
It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

Washington, like Oregon, state owes its easy voting system to restrictive housing covenants. Until 1968, Black people and Jewish people simply could not rent or buy homes.

Today in history, 1948: The Supreme Court rules that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits the legal enforcement of racially restrictive housing covenants. Private parties may choose to abide by such covenants but they cannot be enforced in a court of law. /1

Yes rambling incoherently again, but apparently it’s an ode to William Leavitt, the racist postwar developer of suburbs who boasted about his use of racially restrictive deed covenants & continued to try to enforce them after SCOTUS ruled them unenforceable in 1948.

Just abolish/refuse to recognize the covenants! You can just do things!
Today The Competition Bureau of Canada announced an investigation into Sobey’s use of property controls such as restrictive covenants that limit where grocery stores can open (or what stores in a certain area near a Sobeys can and can’t sell).

Big big Mapping Prejudice data update today: We have updated our Washington DC racial covenants data to include 20,000+ covenants that were previously identified by our collaborators at Mapping Segregation DC. The combined DC dataset is now at 27,600 covenanted parcels (and counting!).

Bluesky #historians, is anyone else here working on #racialcovenants? Washington is about to be the first state in the nation to have located and mapped every racially restrictive property covenant in the state. I'm with a team doing the eastern half. ewuracialcovenants.org

Authority. Restrictive covenants continued to be added to deeds throughout the 1950s. In 1972, the D.C. Circuit held in Mayers v Ridley that such covenants violated the Fair Housing Act. /end

for some reason "DOCTRINES AND COVENANTS 132 IS SUSPICIOUSLY SPECIFIC DON'T YOU THINK?" didn't catch on
unironically, this is the worst thing about a Cincinnati crowd chanting FUCK THE MORMONS. There's SO MUCH HISTORY THERE, so many opportunities for better trolling. Just chanting Fuck is boring. Bring signs about the Kirtland Safety Society Failure. Talk shit about J.S. being a bad banker!

Social solidarity is destroyed without restrictive housing covenants, that's not because I hate Black people or I'm motivated by grievance I'm trying to preserve the culture of the neighborhood
“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

I'm tuned into the Medina Council tonight for a hearing on a zoning update that's intended to combat the scourge of "bulky" homes, in a city with a $4.5M median home value.
The bill mandates PERMANENT covenants for privacy landscaping with any minor zoning deviation, e.g. reduced setbacks.

Tesla's annual report filing (late Jan) on its debt covenants. It says it is in "material" compliance with these as stock continues freefall. That's deliberately tricky wording but even so, I wonder if and when there is a tipping point?
