Reply to comment by nilsrva in CAR meets tomorrow to discuss removal of BustArt’s mural (info in comments) by nilsrva

Out of curiosity, has anyone compared this map to the historical red lining map of Richmond? It looked like a lot of overlap with red and yellow zones but I freely admit I could be confused by the red lining map.

Anyway. Is this hullabaloo about the murals just a way to exert control over the people in these neighborhoods? Sounds like it to me.

Which historic preservation map are you trying to erroneously connect to a racial injustice from the past? Would it be the one on Monument Avenue or Jackson. Ward? Both are historic districts that were voted into by property owners in that particular area years ago.

So, why do you think a historic preservation district may align with old discriminatory real estate practices? Historic districts are often of higher value. Monument Avenue Church Hill south of Broad Street would be local examples.
