That article you posted uses a set of maps as its source, but if you go to the maps they refer to, a lot of cities have changed drastically where there was redlining. Atlanta may not have changed much from the redlined map, but Los Angeles and San Francisco definitely have, and those were the only ones I looked at. Many of the areas that were redlined are full of multimillion dollar SFRs and lots of great shops and commercial properties.
The problems there cannot be fixed by zoning more commercial real estate and the comments about healthy restaurants are laughable: look at the restaurants that thrive in the area in question and look at the areas with the abundance of healthy restaurants. There's zero overlap.
If a salad bar chain could do well in South DeKalb, they'd have no shortage of venues to consider. Atlanta is self-segregated in a multitude of dimensions that are much deeper than race.
