Institute On Metropolitan Opportunity Response To Professor Edward G. Goetz’S Comments On Imo’S Report: Reforming Subsidized Housing Policy In The Twin Cities, Myron Orfield, Will Stancil, Thomas Luce, Eric Myott
Studies
Professor Goetz’s comments reflect an obvious misunderstanding of our report and of the issues of urban racial segregation and fair housing. Yet we understand why he is upset––organizations and individuals, including Professor Goetz, have invested their time and energy toward the activities our report challenges. We regret that he has expressed his anger by attacking the scholarly reputations of his colleagues rather than by taking the time to outline real and substantive concerns with the work itself.

Twin Cities In Crisis: Unequal Treatment Of Communities Of Color In Mortgage Lending, Institute On Metropolitan Opportunity
Twin Cities In Crisis: Unequal Treatment Of Communities Of Color In Mortgage Lending, Institute On Metropolitan Opportunity
Studies
Before the housing crisis, toxic subprime loans were deeply embedded in the mortgage market in the Twin Cities and were highly targeted towards communities of color. These loans contributed eventually to the foreclosure crisis and the staggering drops in housing values that disproportionately affected people of color, stripping many moderate- and low-income communities of enormous amounts of housing wealth. While subprime lending is much less common today, lack of access to credit continues to plague communities of color. Income differences alone do not explain past and current lending disparities.

Charter Schools In Chicago: No Model For Education Reform, Institute On Metropolitan Opportunity
Studies
Chicago remains one of the nation’s lowest performing school districts. Sadly the charters schools, which on average score lower that the Chicago public schools, have not improved the Chicago school system, but perhaps made it even weaker. Further charters, which are even more likely to be single race schools than the already hyper segregated Chicago school system, and are more likely to use student expulsion.
