Ceiling not solution to postwar housing crisis says OPA official
An OPA district director argues suspending ceilings will not fix the housing shortage after World War I. Officials propose area based quotas to require a portion of new homes to sell under $10,000 with adjustments by local building costs. The plan aims to push more homes under the $10,000 ceiling while some may still top that limit. Wyatt repeats the goal of keeping most new dwellings under $6,000.
