Abstract

These Men Block Housing

January 5, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

A recent statement of the author that the housing shortage had been deliberately planned by reactionary real-estate interests, has been violently contradicted. However, there is ample evidence that the real-estate interests have consistently opposed all new housing, which could offer competition with their ancient and unsanitary slums. Present conditions were foreseen by many people two years ago, and the need for action was urged at that time when the author wrote book, "The Seven Myths of Housing."
