Redlining resulted in highly segregated communities and impacted people by constraining wealth that families could build. This further exacerbated wealth inequality.

Transit gaps and geographic isolation make school access harder

Environmental issues (pollution, toxic sites) can impact student and family health

Solutions must fit the local community's context

Our student population has a high number of asthma cases

Both case studies have areas that have faced significant disadvantages due to location/proximity of industrial plants, transportation methods, and lack of pollution control

Lack of access to city services and resources.

Thank you for the Bayview-Hunters Point case study. I live in SF, and the way that those freeways isolate the neighborhood resonates. Transit can be unreliable within the area and coming to and from the area. Thinking of the physical features of the area-SFCP has the most beautiful sweeping views of the bay and city but also higher exposures to pollution, toxic sites, etc. It's a stark juxtaposition

Silicon Valley Paradox

The ultimate paradox -- billionare wealth vs working class; SV has been accumulating wealth for several decades now, and it hasn't had a wide impact to improve conditions in San Jose

Our schools end up being in areas with high pollutants.

Displacement is coming in

Real need to focus on safe routes to schools, more walkable and green spaces, transit pathways

I noticed that much of the conflict involves the conflicting interests of unrelated parties. Mostly being those already in the neighborhood vs. those who want to move into the neighborhood.
