Poster advertising talk: What were "redlining" maps for? Race and the interwar cartographies of a new science An expanding body of research has sought to connect the Home Owners' Loan Corporation's (HOLC) “redlining" maps from the 1930s to a wide array of present-day social injustices in the United States. The assertion has been that these federally produced maps helped entrench emerging co-geographies of racial segregation and value that reproduce racial-spatial inequities. However, the historical record is more complicated. In this talk, I re-evaluate what these maps and their accompanying field notes can (and cannot) tell us about the inter-generational transmission of racial inequality. I propose that HOLC's “redlining" documents should not be read as literal prescriptions about where the agency believed real estate investments should and should not be steered but as part of a larger, state-backed spatial data science initiative that was about imposing order and predictability onto the housing landscape.

An outpouring of critical sub/urban scholarship in recent years has explored the historical and ongoing linkages between race, real estate, and space in the United States. Much of this literature has positioned residential segregation as crucial for structuring the geographies of capital accumulation, highlighting how segregation delimits places for extraction and dispossession. In this essay, I build from the foundations this literature lays by bringing together Charles Abrams’ concept of “the racist theory of value” (RTV) and David Harvey’s notion of “anti-value” to illuminate the centrality of racialized devaluation in the accumulation process in the US. Specifically, I contend that the RTV, in its role in entrenching residential segregation and collapsing race and value together in space, has helped to demarcate and contain the devaluation that capitalism requires in Black residential spaces. As a key innovation for real estate capital to manage the geographies of (anti-)value...

Miller and Search ran for office pledging to roll back a property tax increase that had been foisted on residents to fund future development in The Villages. They argued that if the developer, which also owned the local newspaper and radio station, wanted to expand the size of the retirement community, they should do so with their own money. Shortly after Miller and Search were sworn in, the local prosecutor launched an investigation into whether they had violated Florida “sunshine laws” around transparency and open government.
