Reparations Plan in California Sparks Controversy and Criticism.

California's reparations task force has recommended that all cities and counties with allegedly segregated neighborhoods submit their real estate ordinances to a state agency for approval based on whether they maintain or lessen "residential racial segregation." The task force also proposes increasing home ownership among Black Californians, providing a "right to return" for Black residents "displaced" by development projects, and repealing policies limiting those with criminal records from renting property. The recommendations include several proposals meant to address "housing segregation" and "unjust property takings" that contributed to alleged systemic racism against Black Californians.
