One of the many harmful legacies of redlining is inequity in neighborhood tree coverage:
“Tree equity: Who gets trees in their neighborhood?
Why are some neighborhoods so much greener than others? ... It turns out that neighborhoods that were historically redlined in the ‘30s and ‘40s live today with only half the tree cover of their "greenlined" neighborhood counterparts.”

Neighborhoods with trees are healthier, cooler, and safer. Black & Brown neighborhoods are more likely to lack tress. That is systemic racism. The harm of redlining isn't only historical, it continues to this day.
