BARKLEY CREATED ONE OF THE FIRST ZONING LAWS IN 1916.

WHITE NEIGHBORS WANTED TO PUSH OUT 2 JAPANESE OWN LAUNDRIES, CHINESE OWNED LAUNDRY AND A DANCE HALL MOSTLY USED BY BLACK PEOPLE, SO ENFORCED RESIDENTIAL ZONING IN BOTH LOCATIONS, A YEAR LATER RULED RACIAL ZONING A CONSTITUTIONAL AND IN SOME WAYS IT DIDN'T MATTER, SINGLE- FAMILY ZONING WORKS JUST AS WELL TO SEGREGATE, SAN DIEGO ADOPTED IT IN 1923, AND IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS DEVELOPERS CAN BUILD APARTMENTS OR DUPLEXES, AFFORDABLE TO NONWHITE RESIDENTS WHO TEND TO BE LESS WEALTHY, THE REST OF THE RESIDENTIAL LAND IS RESTRICTED TO LESS AFFORDABLE SINGLE- FAMILY HOME.

PLANNERS MANAGED TO SEGREGATE SAN DIEGO WITHOUT SAYING THE WORD RACE.

BARKLEY RESEARCHERS WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THE LAST 100 YEARS OF ZONING IN SAN DIEGO, SO THEY CATEGORIZED EVERY PLOT CITY, IT TURNS OUT SINGLE-FAMILY ONLY ZONING TAKES UP MOST OF THE RESIDENTIAL LAND, 81%.

THE REASONS THEY GIVE FOR PUSHBACK HAVE CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

>> FIRST IT WAS YOU ARE A FIRE HAZARD, THAT'S NOT TRUE, YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY LAND VALUES, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

>> THE MAIN ARGUMENT NOW IS THAT IT WILL CHANGE THE QUOTE UNQUOTE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CHANGE THE LOOK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THE BUILDINGS?

WE CAN REPLICATE BUILDINGS.

>> THE BUILDINGS, HE QUESTIONS, OR THE PEOPLE?

REGARDLESS, SAN DIEGO EXPLODING WITH POPULATION GROWTH, CAN'T AFFORD TO HOLD ONTO OLD ZONING RESTRAINTS.
