Life, liberty, and the pursuit of housing: an increasingly
difficult quest in the contemporary urban United States, where
crime, urban blight, and continuing capital decay undercut the
advantages of city living. The American dream has moved to the
suburbs; the nightmare of our cities prompts new recognition both
in the president's cabinet and the college curriculum.
The editors of this book have updated their acclaimed earlier
collection, providing new introductory articles; new papers, such
as, Discrimination in Housing Prices and Mortgage Lending, ASummary
Report of Current Findings from the Experimental Housing Allowance
Program, Alternative Mortgage Designs and Their Effectiveness in
Eliminating Demand and Supply Effects on Inflation; and a new
bibliography of the literature.
Additional chapters focus on differing strategies for improved
urban housing and renewal by providing concrete suggestions for
distributing existing resources and allocating new funding. The
bibliography provides the best single guide to the current
literature on housing. Housing Urban America, in this new edition,
is an important guide to those students and scholars fascinated by
the essential questions of adequate housing: its social costs, and
the source of the revenues to provide it.
