Abstract

What do a superyacht marina in West Palm Beach, Florida; the city in Minnesota that is home to the Mall of America; and a blighted East Harlem, New York, have in common? They are all opportunity zones. This may be a striking fact, considering the first two areas are affluent while the third is home to many low-income families with an average income for elderly citizens below twenty thousand dollars. The problem with the opportunity zones program, as we currently know it, is that it does not serve the right communities, and when it does, it is not always in the right way.
