Similarly, in this case, the opening of the Conrad Center is related to the relocation of services there only insofar as the location of the Conrad Center has enabled the isolation of homeless persons from downtown Richmond. As demonstrated" by Lendo, however, this relationship does not mean that the relocation of a service to the Conrad Center — allegedly motivated by isolationist animus — is not a discrete act of discrimination. Indeed, the opening of the Conrad Center in no sense caused homeless persons to be isolated from downtown Richmond. Rather, defendants’ alleged acts that caused services to relocate from downtown to the Conrad Center are responsible for the alleged isolation. See Lendo, 820 F.2d at 1368 (the denial of tenure did not “inevitably follow the [discriminatory] evaluations so as to be an effect of them”). Any such discrete acts during the limitations period are not time-barred. Nat’l Adver. Co., 947 F.2d at 1167.
