Segregation by design: The real history of the US housing market

It’s clear that we still have work to do to fight racial injustice. Sometimes people say it's hard to unlearn our biases and prejudices because discrimination has always been there. Or has it? Our guest this time on Real Estate In the 608 is Dr. Paige Glotzer, UW-Madison History Professor and author of the book How the Suburbs Were Segregated: Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing, 1890-1960. She shares her ten year research project on why we see so many inequities in the US, and offers advice on how we can improve. Dr. Glotzer joins In The 608 hosts Ben Anton and Adam Elliott, where we also get a look as to why mortgage rates are at never before seen levels. Get advice on home fixes during the pandemic with the "Top Of The Hour Tip". Go in-depth with advice for buyers and sellers with the "Market Update”' from the Lauer Realty Group. Get the bigger picture of the economy as it relates to the national real estate market with Phil Plourd and Phil’s Phone-in that looks beyond the 608." Episode 2.9 - September 2020.
