Understanding Health Care

Oh no! You have just been hit with place stratification. Place stratification is a theory that states that residential segregation exists because of discriminatory practices on the part of institutional actors and community members. In the past it could be traced to legal ordinances and covenants that made it illegal to buy residence in neighborhoods if you were a certain race. Or your race made it harder to obtain loans because you were considered a high risk investment. Stratification still exists because real estate authorities still utilize the theory of residential preference to maintain the racial makeups of certain neighborhoods. Residential preference theory is as it implies residential segregation exists because people of the same group (race, class, nativity) want to live near one another which is often true, but in the case of white Americans they have low tolerance to people who belong in the 'outgroup' utilizing a sharing in the resources that their neighborhood provides them.

You can't move. What's your solution to the problem?
