Abstract
The issue of the separateness of Waterloo and Cedar Falls must be understood within a larger framework of the difficulties of social interaction and the sharing of community space among those of different ethnicity, race, gender, or other potentially diverse characteristics. Earlier this year, I prepared a Fair Housing Analysis for the City of Cedar Falls, as required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (CSBR, 1996). The federal government is, of course, primarily interested in the enforcement of federal statutes regarding fair housing, but it is also interested in the affirmative efforts being made by a community to further fair housing. Since residential patterns help to define the composition of a community, the issue of fair housing touches directly on the overall diversity of the community. For me, preparation of this report threw into sharp relief the complex social dimensions that affect how well laws work to achieve their stated goals.
