District vacancy favor something like this for Wheaton?)
https://evanstonnow.com/story/government/bill-smith/equity/2019-08-16/82700/panel-seeks-tax-break-for-black-homeowners
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
resolution said the measures would help “remedy the city’s role in
historical and institutional racism and discrimination.” The resolution
adds that while much of the “wealth and opportunity gap” affecting
black residents are tied to home loan redlining practices in parts of the 2nd and
5th Wards, the commission didn’t want to limit the reparations programs to
residents in those neighborhoods. The panel ducked addressing issues regarding
how the policies might be implemented, “acknowledging that additional
research and data are necessary to create a fair and equitable process and
determine the long-term sustainability of the funding sources.”)
