Andrea McArdle writes for The Faculty Lounge in part 2/3 of Reflections on Minneapolis, New York, Race, Policing, and Zoning: “The political, economic, and social realities of Minneapolis and New York City underscore how their local experience fits the “tale of two cities” trope. At a policy level, each embraces equity and racial equality. Yet significant differences based in race and socioeconomic indicators persist, and have challenged efforts to unify disparate communities. These differences exist in employment, housing, access to health care, and education.”
