Not ordinances so much as written into a deed. Ironically it's still not illegal to include these covenants in your deed, it's just that courts have ruled they are unenforcable.

The Octopus Project- "Its Caption Was A Star"

As a Baltimorean who lives 1 mile from Cold Spring and Greenmount and a former law student of the property professor Garrett Power, I can say everything that is in here is true. It should be noted, however, that originally the Roland Park Company, the company that developed the nice neighborhoods, did not have restrictive covenants on their properties. It wasn't because they were open to black people - they just weren't sure they were legal. Great show, as always.


I really like the RadioLab feel, keep up the great radio show!

Dessa just released a brand new single called "Quinine"!!! The track was produced by Paper Tiger with co-production by Lazerbeak and additional production from Dessa herself (shout out to that sweet marimba). A true family affair and ultimate collabo heat knocker in every sense. This is the first new bit of recorded music that Dessa has released since 2013's Parts of Speech album and hints at way more to come.

Dessa "Quinine"

"Cities exist to bring people together, but cities can also keep people apart" 
Daniel D'Oca, Urban Planner, Interboro Partners.

Cities are great. They have movement, activity and diversity. But go to any city and it’s pretty clear, a place can be diverse without really being integrated. This segregation isn’t accidental. There are design elements in the urban landscape, that Daniel D’Oca calls “weapons,” that are used by “architects, planners, policy-makers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists, neighborhood associations, and individuals to wage the ongoing war between integration and segregation.”

Daniel D'Oca is an urban planner with Interboro Partners, an architecture and design firm based in New York City. Over the past few years, D'Oca, along with colleagues  lTobias Armborst and Georgeen Theodore  have been cataloguing all the stuff inside of a city that planners use to increase or restrict people's access to space.  They're publishing their findings in a book called The Arsenal of Inclusion and Exclusion:  101 Things That Open And Close the City (Fall 2012).

D’Oca took our own San Greenspan and Scott Goldberg on a tour of Baltimore to demonstrate the subtle ways different neighborhoods are kept apart.
