If you want to build a city for people, you have to start by talking to the people who already live in your city.

This graphic from the #Boston Planning Department brilliantly shows over-reliance on white, older, long-term homeowners to provide " #community " input even when communities are made up of non-white, younger renters.

Chart showing who shows up for "Citizen Participation" sessions in Boson in terms of White/Non-White, Homeowner/Renter, Over 55/Under 55, Long-term/Newer resident. Unsurprisingly, for anyone who has worked in planning outreach, the participants heavily skew to old, white, homeowners.

@CathyTuttle @maxdubler @DemonHusky but most that pack those community meetings are old white people who are retired and have nothing better to do.
