Evaluate the article
As I read through this article I felt like it was very strong. I provided a lot of history and facts about how zoning laws came to be. I enjoyed how it broke down the content by time period because it helped me follow the article. The grammar is good, and the writing is overall easy to follow. The beginning of the article is strong and gives an overview of the topic, however, it does not give a rundown of everything that is going to be talked about in the article. This would help the article a lot because of how long it is. There is little of no bias in this article, and the links for the citations that I checked worked. My largest complaint or change that I would make is that I think the article is lacking some information. Throughout my research on the topic I found many of the effects of zoning laws such as red lining and gentrification. I felt as though these were very important sub topics within the larger topic of zoning laws as a whole, and believe that they should be mentioned in the article.
