Abstract

Public Housing Today
Childs, Marquis | January 1, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the U.S. housing legislation. Even to approach the problem of low-cost housing, however objectively, is to become confused by the tangled thicket of controversy that has grown up around this vital question. Any appraisal of what has been done in the past is almost certain to be clouded by a fog of factional argument. And certainly the future of housing is jeopardized by the bitterness that has been engendered over what is a fundamental reform. But because the situation is changing so rapidly it is important to try to analyze the failure of the New Deal, up to the present, to provide mass low-cost housing.
