Baltimore County agrees to move low-income residents to wealthier neighborhoods

Doug Donovan of The Baltimore Sun reports that “After nearly five years of negotiations, Baltimore County has resolved a federal housing discrimination complaint by agreeing to spend $30 million over the next decade to help build 1,000 homes for low-income African American families in prosperous county neighborhoods, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by The Baltimore Sun.”

County Executive Kevin Kamenetz will also introduce legislation to prevent landlords from rejecting people who receive rent subsidies (Section 8). Read the full story here.

We worked 2 jobs to get our homes in the county, now you are giving our neighborhood to section 8 people who do ntot know how to fill a trash can and put a lid on it. The, you will raise my taxes to care for people who ilterate. No one gave me anything to get here. I resent you doing this.

Are the 116 prosperous census tracts a valid fact of the story? How can one find these tracts?

Wouldn’t the locations of the 116 census tracts referenced be an important fact to include in the press release?
