> Restrictive covenants were not rare, especially in the post-war suburbs. The first modern suburb, Levittown, NY, was racially segregated.
Pointing to an instance doesn't make the "not rare" case.
Levittown takes good pictures, but it isn't representative of post WWII housing development.
Moreover, you're still ignoring the fact that even if covenants were't rare before, the affected housing is a very small part of today's housing stock. As a result, covenants which haven't been enforceable for 50 years can't have much, if any, effect today.
