The exact change
The article said Mast proves new market-rate apartments reduce nearby rents, that predictive policing uniformly amplifies bias, that single-family zoning was the single substitute for racial exclusion, and that restrictive zoning determines segregation across metros.
Qualified the Mast and predictive-policing claims to what the evidence supports, and left the accurate zoning-and-segregation history intact.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The Mast and predictive-policing claims were stated more definitively than the evidence supports; the segregation history was accurate. Corrections scope the two overstated claims rather than adding new sources.
