    The bigger issue with redlining isn't depressed home values. This is typically addressed vis-a-vis steering or block-busting measures.

    The problem with redlining is it prevents the disaffected group the opportunity to capture the appreciation in the asset class - home ownership. Home ownership typically allows the greatest opportunity for the avg joe to build a relatively substantial nest egg.

    This most notably happened in the explosive growth in the communities surrounding NYC after WWII (when/where Fred Trump made his fortune as a builder/developer).


    Not allowing the common man an opportunity to build a nest egg is also the biggest cause for concern with Black Rock reported sitting on Trillions to buy real estate with. That won't just affect the Blick community; everybody will be fucked.

    If these assholes had any balls they would promote ending domestic violence, DUI and gun violence. You know, something that they can actually make a difference that actually affects people associated with NFL players. But like I said, they would do it if they had balls, which they don’t.

    Have you seen the recent housing Ad the NFL is running? White racism causes banks to foreclose on black people's homes and to undervalue their property. And black people can be arrested just for looking at the wrong house.
    Obviously there was redlining happened and ended over 50 years ago. And obviously that has hurt accumulation of wealth. But what good does it fucking do to continually beat the victim drum? If the left had an ounce of honestly and decency they would be all over school choice and championing stable two parent families (and TKS, I said two parent, not necessarily married). But school choice and families threaten their power base. The left in now way want to or is interested in “ending racism”. There are billions to be made in victim politics and fostering dependency. It’s really sick and twisted. The TKS has been indoctrinated to believe he is moral and virtuous.
    Agreed, redlining devalued property in black neighborhoods but that hasn't been the case since the late 1960s and isn't responsible today for lower values in certain neighborhoods. There are plenty of neighborhoods in parts of Oakland and Berkeley that have benefited greatly from gentrification.
    Correct, but it did affect wealth accumulation and there are people today who could not buy a traditional house in good neighborhoods with decent schools in the 50s who would be much wealthier today (and their families would be as well) if they owned a home in the 50s in the suburbs. This applies to anyone of any race.
    Inner city schools were pretty damn good in the 1950s compared to today and even in comparison to today's crap public schools in the suburbs. Hell, Terry Baker and Mel Renfro both played at Jefferson High School. Today, Jefferson is an intellectual wasteland. Those discriminated against in the 1950s on home purchases are all dead. There would have been some intergenerational wealth transfers. Now we use zoning, building regulations and urban growth boundaries to punish poor people trying to move up the ladder. All supported by the left.
    For clarity, do you think it would be best for everyone if we had schools go back to the way they were before the 50s?
    Kobe is just dying to call you a transphobic racist.
    Sauced it up for his current fixation.

    Which do you believe has a greater negative impact on the home values in certain neighborhoods today? Crime and violence or redlining? Today even good neighborhoods here in California have shitty public schools.
    I don’t know. But I think you missed my point.
    I got your point. Redlining had a negative impact on home values and thus hurt the ability of blacks to achieve greater wealth accumulation. But that's not what's holding down home values now.
    And I never said anything about now. That isn’t relevant to my point.
    The point is we could do something about depressed home values now. We can't do anything about depressed home values in the 1950s. Redlining is used as an excuse to explain depressed home values today. It's bullshit.
    Why do you keep arguing points that no one is making or questioning?

    Because I read an article on redlining in Oakland a couple weeks back and it was arguing the point that redlining was responsible for the fact that homes in black neighborhoods today are worth less than other neighborhoods. Woman was accusing the banks of racism because her home was being appraised at less than she thought it was worth and she and the activists that were supporting her were all blaming redlining.

    Fuck the PGA of America (different than the PGA tour). And fuck the R&A for preemptively never giving another British Open to Turnberry, one of the best courses in the rotation.

    Redlining, is there anything it can't do?

    Even though redlining was officially banned through the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the long-lasting impacts of housing discrimination persist in cities across the United States.

    Residents in neighborhoods historically plagued by redlining, like those in West and East Oakland, are more than twice as likely to go to the emergency room for asthma. They’re also more likely to experience higher rates of poverty, crime and infant mortality. The impacts of redlining can be felt in almost every aspect of life: from access to high quality education, to job opportunities and even healthy food options.

    That’s true, forgot about that. Fuck them too. They play a ton of fucking terrible courses these days. Aside from Riviera and Kapalua, there isn’t one good course on tour.

    I get it and agree, but my point has nothing to do with that.

    However I read or saw a tv story about a black family who had an appraisal. I think they were either home or had their pictures up. The appraisal came I. About $100k less than what they had as a ballpark number. They had another on done and took down any trace that it was owned by a black family. That appraisal came back at what they expected. Was it racism? A racist appraiser? An incompetent appraiser? Was the 2nd appraiser wrong? I don't know. But the default position is there is no other explanation than racism.

    I do personally know white people who had an appraisal come in lower than they needed, and then got a 2nd appraisal that they where happy with.

Woman was accusing the banks of racism because her home was being appraised at less than she thought it was worth and she and the activists that were supporting her were all blaming redlining.
    I get it and agree, but my point has nothing to do with that.

    However I read or saw a tv story about a black family who had an appraisal. I think they were either home or had their pictures up. The appraisal came I. About $100k less than what they had as a ballpark number. They had another on done and took down any trace that it was owned by a black family. That appraisal came back at what they expected. Was it racism? A racist appraiser? An incompetent appraiser? Was the 2nd appraiser wrong? I don't know. But the default position is there is no other explanation than racism.

    I do personally know white people who had an appraisal come in lower than they needed, and then got a 2nd appraisal that they where happy with.
    As someone who sells RE and deals with appraisers frequently, what I remember about this story is thinking "this doesn't pass the smell test."

    Most stories about someone in the business end of racism don’t pass the smell test.

    How long before The Masters is deemed systemic racism?

    They tried that already. Don’t cave and it goes away, like with anything.
    Didn't they make Condi Rice a memeber to assuage the concerns at that time?

    They have a few female members now. Condy and the CEO of IBM I know for sure.

    I was talking about the name itself being under attack in the last year or two. Georgia Jim Crow 2.0 happened right before the 2021 masters with MLB commissioner being a member there.

    They have a few female members, including Condy and the CEO of IBM.

    The irony is today I can think of dozens of professional women groups and not one male professional group. The glass ceiling is pretty much gone. My former employer had a woman CFO and the group CEO was a woman. The group has over $21 billion in revenue. As for golf, if a female golfer could qualify, they can play on the PGA Tour. Real men (not female trannies) can't play on the LPGA Tour.

    Lee Elder was the first Black player in 1975. The Masters changed from an invitational to having rules like every winner of a tournament the previous year gets in. They thought that would avoid discrimination by not making it a choice. Then Elder won a PGA Tour event.

    They had Martha Burke protest about women. There was a legendary counter protestor with a Make Me a Sandwich sign. When CBS got wobbly the Masters said fine, no commercials this year.

    And as Bob pointed out - they ignored the boycott Georgia because voting law bullshit that baseball fell for. And then had the World Series in Atlanta

    Just ignore the idiots - a simple lesson that corporate America is too stupid to get

    @WhiskeyDawg ? True?

    The real girls have some serious game these days. I play semi regularly with a girl on the Symetra tour, a young guy on the Latin America tour, and also played 3-4 times with a guy who won on the pga tour last year. There are insane gaps in abilities between all of them. The girls will never play on any mens tour (by actually legitimately qualifying not some bs sponsors exemption).

    My old boss would buy a spot in the LPGA pro am when they hit Seattle for one of the guys to play in

    He always had a great time because he could think he could beat them even though there was no way

    I like the latest bumper crop of female golfers

    I’m like a 3-4 hcp these days and this girl kicks my ass every time and she’ll never sniff the lpga tour. She’s like 22-23 and there are just crazy amounts of young players on the way.

    Last time we played she shot a 64 from like 6600 yards on a tough course.

    Used to play with a former WSU golf team female player. She weighed about a buck 20 and her swing looked so slow, but she could hit it almost as far as I could with my death grip and coming out of my shoes (I never learn). But I used to play at lunch where the old Portland Fire WNBA practiced. Before Paul Allen decided that his charitable contributions could go elsewhere. In my mid-40s I could have made the squad as a backup. John McEnroe was crucified by accurately pointing out that Serena would be like the 700 best male player. The US women's soccer team couldn't compete with 15 year old males. I'm still surprised that "feminists" have basically rolled over on the female tranny issue. But then I tend to think with a degree of logic and reason.

    Next door girl cute with little curves. No pics available. Didn't age well. She was fair and spent a lot of time outdoors.
