Comments
According to a resident of Tucson, restrictive
covenants against Jews and persons of color were in
place until the late 1990s in Tucson, but they were not
enforced.
The resident said that a Jewish friend was very
offended when he read the restriction in the deed
restrictions of the neighborhood where he was buying
a house. In response, the friend got a lawyer who
helped him to lobby the Arizona legislature. As a
result, a new law was enacted prohibiting the
enforcement of the deed restriction.
