Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recent Trends in American Housing 1. The Problem. The crux of the housing problem is economic. Under the ordinary laws of supply and demand, it is insoluble. In our modern industrial civilization, the distribution of income is such that a substantial portion of the population cannot pay a commercial rent, much less a commercial purchase price, for a home fulfilling the mini mum health and decency requirements. This is not a local or transitory phenomenon. It is universal and permanent, - to the extent, at least, that our economic system is universal and permanent. The sooner we in the United States recognize these facts, as most thinking people in the rest of the civilized world have already done, the sooner we shall find a remedy. For of course there is one, if we choose to pay the price for it. No situation which is producing disease and crime faster than our remedial agencies can cure them is a necessity. As a matter of fact, other nations have found remedies and are putting them into effect. It cannot be done in a day. It cannot be done without sacrifice. But the progress in some countries has been remarkable. We may not like their remedies. But in that case, it would seem to be up to us to devise better ones. No such simple remedy as raising wages will solve the problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
