[Download] The Poor Side of Town: And Why We Need It

Books Excerpt : The book combines a critique of more than a century of housing reform policies--including public and other subsidized housing, as well as exclusionary zoning--with the idea that small houses --a poor side of town--helps those of modest means build financial assets and join in the local democratic process. It is more an historic narrative than a straight policy book, however--telling stories of Jacob Riis, zoning reformer Lawrence Veiller, anti-reformer Jane Jacobs; housing developer William Levitt; African- American small homes advocate Rev. Johnnie Ray Youngblood, as welll as first person accounts of one- time residents of neighborhoods such as Detroit's Black Bottom who lose their homes and businesses to housing reform and urban renewal. It combines reportage and policy in a way intended to engage readers.
