It’s an odd thing: using the guise of making towns aesthetically pleasing in order to push out the individuals that you feel are “disorderly” or “not normal”. It’s strange to read how something like the zoning of land into commercial, residential and manufacturing sections, which is meant to diversify the community, actually causes more segregation and separation. The article states that zoning   caused and even greater racial and class segregation because places of employment were separated from lower income residences, and laws were used to limit the growth of manufacturing and affordable housing, which basically weeds out the lower income residents from a particular neighborhood. I think one of the strangest examples in the article was the administrative obstacles and real estate pressures that were faced by “The Special Greenwich Village Hudson River District” which focused on protecting the printing, meat market, and graphic arts industries as well as providing low-income housing for seniors and individuals with disabilities, including those with AIDS, but all the private and public funds that went into developing the Manhattan waterfront, and the pier and other parks in general. All these actions seemed to try to better the appearance of the neighborhood, making it more expensive to live in, again casting out people who appear “disorderly”, which this article specifies as nonwhite homosexuals, minority youth and lower income individuals.
