UTSA has declined to conduct a study that would have analyzed San Antonio's code enforcement and demolition practices.
than other major Texas cities, disproportionally issued demolition orders in poorer and older neighborhoods and targeted code enforcement where more Black and Latino residents live.
While the city has a standing contract with UTSA general research work, the university declined the city’s request because at the time its researchers were already busy working on other housing-related issues, said Joe Izbrand, UTSA associate vice president for strategic communications and external affairs.
“I’m disappointed that this presentation was more an attack on the [report] and less about how we can work together to come up with solutions to ensure that we mitigate the displacement of folks,” Castillo said. “Whether it’s one or 400 families who are being issued notices to vacate and are being displaced, that’s one too many.”
Michael Shannon, director of the city’s Development Services Department, said in December that a preliminary review of data by San Antonio city staff found a much lower number: 331 orders to vacate and 73 orders to demolish for a total of 404 orders.
