Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being
transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city
ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need.
The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are
faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the
benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can
afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on
this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and
sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences
of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive
alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy
shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political
and economic roots-and therefore requires a radical response.
