Open-housing debate in Woodbridge: Define racism
Can a town’s laws be racist even if they do not explicitly state: “No Blacks Allowed?”
That question emerged at the latest public hearing over whether to change zoning, and boost affordable housing, in New Haven’s leafy neighbor to the west.
The question came towards the end of a three-hour hearing hosted last week by the Woodbridge Town Planning & Zoning Commission.
The two-pronged rezoning proposal submitted by civil rights attorneys and Yale Law School students has inspired New Haveners concerned about the regional roots of segregation and racism to weigh in (in this case, and in similar statewide efforts).
