The problem with blacks isn't that "grandfather doesn't like the neighbors". Blacks were forced into dirty ghettos by zoning laws and HUD redlining policies 50 years ago, and they're still suffering the consequences.
You have to deregulate city zoning laws so people can develop the ghettos. When people worry about the character of a neighborhood being destroyed by development, that's a dogwhistle for a racist zoning policy. I don't think they're talking about the architecture or number of parking spaces; they're worried about the types of people who move into cheaper housing.
