PROGRESSIVE CITIES: HOME OF THE WORST HOUSING INEQUALITY — Interesting article.

Yet in terms of gaining an opportunity to own a house, the price impacts of the tough regulation mean profound inequality for the most disadvantaged large ethnicities, African-Americans and Hispanics.

Yeah, hate to burst your bubble but the blue portion of NJ isn't what's paying. Even NJ, a 'blue' state is still geographically mostly red and trust me, we're the schmucks paying.
