TL;DR: Place-based classifications can create long-standing influences on neighborhood fortunes as mentioned in this paper, and redlining is a classic example of these unintended effects, which can be traced back to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board's decision to use redlining.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed urban-suburban disparities in eviction rates across 71 large metropolitan areas and found that eviction is a common experience in suburbs as well as cities, but one in six metropolitan areas experienced higher eviction rates in the suburbs.
Abstract: Eviction has been studied almost exclusively as an urban phenomenon. The growing suburbanization of poverty in the United States, however, provides new cause to analyze the prevalence and correlates of displacement beyond cities. This study analyzes urban-suburban disparities in eviction rates across 71 large metropolitan areas. We show that eviction is a common experience in suburbs as well as cities. Urban eviction rates exceed suburban rates in most cases, but one in six metropolitan areas experienced higher eviction rates in the suburbs. Multilevel models show that key correlates of eviction—especially poverty and median rent—influence eviction patterns differently in urban and suburban contexts. We explore variations in urban-suburban disparities through case studies of Milwaukee, Seattle, and Miami. Metropolitan areas with larger shifts toward suburban poverty, more expensive urban rental markets, and more segregated suburbs experience more suburban evictions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluate changes in the frequency of urban and suburban evictions over time across seventy-four large metropolitan areas and show that the number of suburban eviction has steadily risen over time, even as urban evictions have been stable.
Abstract: The suburbanization of poverty in the United States coincided with surging housing costs and growing rent burdens. Although much of the existing literature on eviction focuses on housing insecurity and displacement in cities, there is good reason to suspect that it has become an equally common phenomenon in the suburbs. This study evaluates changes in the frequency of urban and suburban evictions over time across seventy-four large metropolitan areas. Multilevel models show that the number of suburban evictions has steadily risen over time, even as urban evictions have been stable. The cases of Cleveland, Seattle, and Tampa demonstrate that the increase in suburban evictions is concentrated in pockets of the suburbs. Additional analyses reveal large geographic and racial inequalities in suburban displacement.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assess the net efficacy of these interventions, analyzing changes in eviction filing patterns in thirty-one cities across the U.S. and find that eviction filings were dramatically reduced over this period.
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic crisis exposed the U.S. rental housing market to extraordinary stress. Policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels established eviction moratoria and a number of additional direct and indirect renter-supportive measures in a bid to prevent a surge in evictions and associated public health risks. This article assesses the net efficacy of these interventions, analyzing changes in eviction filing patterns in 2020–2021 in thirty-one cities across the country. We find that eviction filings were dramatically reduced over this period. The largest reductions were in places that previously experienced highest eviction filing rates, particularly majority-Black and low-income neighborhoods. Although these changes did not ameliorate racial, gender, and income inequalities in relative risk of eviction, they did significantly reduce rates across the board, resulting in especially large absolute gains in previously high-risk communities.

TL;DR: The themes of animals, and more specifically the subkingdom of insects, became clear and apparent with the Joshi case taking questions and the unusual description of ‘light through trees’ and dislike of ants indicated Formica rufa as a curative remedy.
Abstract: A young woman of 18, dealing with amenorrhoea since puberty, starts homeopathic treatment in 2010 She describes herself as being ‘stuck in this place’ The absence of her menstrual cycles creates stress emotionally and mentally Improvements with the mineral remedy Silica helped, but treatment shifted most dramatically with the author's introduction to the Joshis' work on finding animal remedies The simple use of questions about the client's likes in nature and animals opened up new information that clarified the most healing remedy source The themes of animals, and more specifically the subkingdom of insects, became clear and apparent with the Joshi case taking questions The unusual description of ‘light through trees’ and dislike of ants indicated Formica rufa as a curative remedy The client has had regular menstrual cycles for over 2½ years with the use of Formica rufa

TL;DR: In this paper, a proprietary market value assessment that is being used to guide development in cities across the United States is examined, and the authors argue that the racial, infrastructural, and epistemological violence associated with this evaluation can potentially lead to a new kind of municipal redlining.
Abstract: City governments are embracing data-driven and algorithmic planning to tackle urban problems. Data-driven analytics have an unprecedented capacity to call urban futures into being. At the same time, they can depoliticize planning decisions. I argue that this shift calls urban studies scholars to investigate geographies of algorithmic violence?a repetitive and standardized form of violence that contributes to the racialization of space and spatialization of poverty. This article examines this broader phenomenon through the case of a proprietary market value assessment that is being used to guide development in cities across the United States. The assessment employs an algorithm that helps city officials make critical decisions about which neighborhoods to target for investment, disinvestment and public service upgrades or disconnections. I argue that the racial, infrastructural, and epistemological violence associated with this evaluation can potentially lead to a new kind of municipal redlining. The article brings insights from critical race theory into conversation with critical scholarship on algorithms by analyzing how algorithmic violence works through data-driven planning technologies to depoliticize and leverage power while further entrenching racism and inequality.
