Spitballing
Subsidize creation of black banks snd credit unions... Help fund and create local businesses in predominantly black neighborhoods
Possibly create an AA specific FHA loan
Banks can give home loans, small business loans etc.. Try to build owning and purchasing power in predominantly black neighborhoods..
Subsidized daycare, afterschool programs and tutoring in high risk areas
Grocery stores
New zoning laws to restrict too many of the same types of businesses created (i.e liquor stores) in urban areas
Create neighborhood NIMBYs to manage beneficial gentrification in promise areas
HBCU investment under the condition they also properly reinvest locally to maintain retention in area
Grants for people to move to/stay and develop business in blighted areas (everyone runs outta Philly when they graduate Penn.. Would be awesome if at least some put down roots)
