The U.S. government's policy in housing has been to have no policy. Each new emergency has spawned a new proposal; each proposal has had to be shaped to suit the more vocal pressures. Fifteen billion dollars of federal commitments for housing have brought forth, a maze of laws, regulations, and pronouncements that have allayed public clamor for a time, raised hopes, and in the end left the housing problem unsolved. In treating the problem again as an. emergency the government only sets the stage for a new emergency and speed its arrival.
