A 1972 column argues housing costs inflation and taxes push Americans toward public housing, questioning substandard criteria and the pace of state led construction. The author cites Michigan rules, housing delimination, and personal experience of an 1914 era home to illustrate that older houses can be adequate and that abrupt public housing expansion risks bland design and loss of individuality.
