[27] We cannot ignore the enormous social costs which arise from the shortage of shelter for families with children as a result of discrimination. These include arbitrary clustering in certain areas, thereby creating dislocations requiring additional schools, transportation, increased police protection and recreational facilities, as well as enhanced burdens upon the control of traffic within such areas. Moreover, the clustering "correlates with the concentration of minorities and women and creates segregated living patterns based on race and sex. (Fn. omitted.) Racial imbalance in public schools has intensified as middle-class rentals are forced out of the cities by the unavailability of affordable and desirable housing and as minority renters are excluded from the suburbs by high rents." Finally, a family discriminated against in the housing market must compete with other families for the remaining available shelter, thereby forcing families "to live in undesirable neighborhoods or to pay higher rents than they would otherwise pay." (Note, op.cit. supra, 13 Golden Gate L.Rev. at pp. 700-701.)
