This is why we should spend more time vetting these candidates than asking which bands they want at their inaugurations. The meat of this story is troubling—but what it tells us about black life in South Bend during @PeteButtigieg’s time as mayor is worse. nyti.ms/2IuxhSC
Read @HenryJGomez on Buttigieg’s “1,000 Houses in 1,000 Days” program. It bulldozed or repaired vacant and abandoned homes in black and Latino South Bend neighborhoods. The mayor celebrates this rather uncritically. It is much more complicated than that. bzfd.it/2X1fs0N
This rather comprehensive @ChrisSikich look at Buttigieg’s urban renewal is also worth your attention. It’s difficult to spotlight just one thing, but take heed of what he did for a woman named Stacey Odom. dlvr.it/R1JHb4
