The Conclusion returns to the book’s overarching question of how racism among housing market professionals contributes to persistent racial segregation. In addition to summarizing the findings from previous chapters, the Conclusion foregrounds housing consumers’ perspectives and experiences, showing that housing market professionals exert significant influence in shaping consumers’ options, decisions, and outcomes. The Conclusion also discusses the book’s contributions to existing racial segregation theory, namely the “big three” mechanisms of racial discrimination, racial residential preferences, and economic inequality. It concludes by highlighting the imperative to intervene in housing market racism and create equal housing opportunities for housing consumers and neighborhoods.

While scholars argue that redevelopment and gentrification result in large part from the unique preferences of middle–class residents moving to neighborhoods after decades of flight, almost all of this evidence is extrapolated from the behavior of residents already living in redeveloped neighborhoods. I argue that understanding the consequences of redevelopment, particularly urban policies advocating redevelopment, requires measuring the preferences for redeveloped neighborhoods among the broader metropolitan population. Using data from a representative sample of Chicago metropolitan area adults, I find that homeowners and renters differ in their patterns of preferences for redeveloped neighborhoods: city or suburban residence is more important for homeowners while race is a much stronger factor among renters. This reassessment of preference patterns highlights the potential for redevelopment policies to fall short of intended goals to attract investment and alleviate racial segregation.
