That's racist!

Gentrification? First you claim they are living substandard, and then have to move to more destitute areas? Were they propery owners? If so they got paid handsomely. If not they were moved into more modern housing.

Maybe local gov in your area cannot keep housing construction up for the dispalced, but I have seen enough in my years to see low income housing that makes me blush from my early years paying my own rent.

Where did I make the bolded claims?
Oakland was majority African American but big tech has rapidly taken over the bay. Not enough received the happy endings you described.

Low income housing was outpaced back in the early 2000s unfortunately.
 
CP answered in part but for more context:

“Oakland Resilient Families began with Mayor Libby Schaaf’s pledge to bring a guaranteed income pilot to Oakland when she joined Mayors for a Guaranteed Income as a founding mayor in the summer of 2020. The project targets groups with the city's greatest wealth disparities, per the Oakland Equality Index, which reveals the median income for White households in Oakland to be nearly three times that of Black households. Oakland Resilient Families is 100% funded through philanthropic donations and run by a collaboration of local community-based organizations.“

That doesn’t explain why they would exclude a household that meets the income requirement because of their race.

If a household meets the income requirement they are obviously not in a median exceeding 3 times anyone’s income. Unless we are to believe that literally the only people in the city of Oakland meeting the income requirement are black/minority.

Nice use of omitting the "?" mark in your bodled comment of mine
You brought up gentrification and I responded to it.
 
^^^^^racist.
Clearly tongue and cheek about one of the most anti-black pieces of legislation in years. Georgia is literally making it illegal to provide food and voter to people stuck waiting in line to vote. Pray tell, how does that have ANYTHING to do with protecting voter integrity? Designed simply to make voting as uncomfortable as possible for black folks (look up average waiting times for predominantly black districts versus predominantly white areas).

Suurrreee
Just like those Democrats that did the black face thing.
It’s ok for you but not others.
Twisting perceptions And Reciting the Democrats history doesn’t help your argument

So even if that statistic is true, why only help 75% when you can help 100% except for what color skin they happen to be born with?

It goes to a larger issue. Look at the underprivileged white vs underprivileged black numbers in Oakland.

what are those numbers and why not help everyone who needs help?

if two families are equally underprivileged in terms of income why exclude one due to ethnicity?

Because African Americans have been displaced at an inordinate rate. The bay is also incredibly progressive. There is a lot reparation sentiment here as well.
 
more on Oakland:

26% of AA live in poverty
8.6% of white live in poverty

however, there are more white people in Oakland than AA. Using a population # of 435,224 and applying the ethnic breakdown (White 29%; AA 22.7%) yields

10,785 whites living in poverty
25,687 AA living in poverty

Why leave out nearly 11K people living in poverty simply because of their skin color?
