Welcome to buy and pay rent in the Ghetto or Integrated Zone, a black player must have $1,000,000 in net assets before buying into the Estate Zone. And he is blocked from ownership in the Suburban Zone-unless he either finds a white owner ready to sell privately ("perhaps," as the rules suggest, "at a premium"), bids highest at a white's bankruptcy auction, or lucks onto an opportunity card that opens the suburbs to him.
