  • FISCAL PROFILE OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

    This 2013 fiscal profile of Syracuse by the New York State Comptroller's Office documents significant fiscal challenges facing the city, including nearly 50% tax-exempt property (compared to 32% statewide), 8% tax-delinquent properties, and 25.6% of families living in poverty—more than double the state average. As the fifth-largest city in New York with a population of 145,170, Syracuse has a debt of $292 million representing 52.9% of its constitutional debt limit (far exceeding the median city's 23%), and faces chronic budget gaps driven by declining population, deteriorating industrial sector, and growing fixed costs for both the city and its dependent school district. The city has established a Land Bank with Onondaga County to address abandoned properties and has exhausted 68.6% of its constitutional tax limit.

  • Reparations: Redressing Institutional Racism and Redlining

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document outlines Evanston, Illinois's reparations framework for addressing institutional racism and redlining. As of 2019, Evanston's Black population comprises 16.6% (12,409 of 74,756 residents) yet received only 6.3% of new mortgages (95 of 1,487 loans), while Black mortgage applicants faced a 33.18% denial rate compared to 15.39% for White applicants. The document cites national homeownership disparities—44% for Black Americans versus 73.7% for White Americans as of Q4 2019—and argues that equal housing laws alone cannot redress historical wealth inequality stemming from slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination. The document proposes that real property ownership as a primary wealth-building mechanism requires reparations-based interventions to resolve the racial wealth gap.
