Green money shapes Pittsfield housing mobility claim
In Pittsfield housing, redressed by money, blacks face limited mobility as few can afford white-neighborhood homes. The article notes 306 units occupied by black families, concentrated in 6A 6B 7A 7B, with 65 in white neighborhoods. Banks may ease mortgages for blacks with good credit, yet most blacks still prefer black neighborhoods for cultural ties, while some brokers and landlords evade enforcement. The NAACP MCAD and local groups push for stronger action against discrimination, but practical barriers persist. the bright line is that wealth, not color, often governs where people can live.
