Blueprint for Disaster: The Unraveling of Chicago Public Housing (Historical Studies of Urban America) ReviewThe failure of public housing in Chicago is something that everyone in the midwest seems to have an opinion on. "Institutional racism brought it down", "High rises don't work", "The CHA is a corrupt organization". Reading this book doesn't disprove any of these statements, but shows the problem isn't so simplistic. This is just an outstanding look at a problem that is so complex and after 70 years, STILL does not have a quantifiable solution.
This is a great read for those of us who grew up in the 80s and the 90s and only saw the CHA and public housing when it was at its worse. It's very sad to see that CHA started with absolutely the best of non-partisan intentions, but due to a lack of definitive mission (do they provide housing to the poorest of the poor? should they be affecting social change via racial integration?), this progressive group managed to get swallowed by the Chicago political machine. Unlike many other city agencies and departments that are no doubt just as corrupt as the CHA became, the impact on human life was immense.
Very well researched, and a completely non-partisan look at an issue that tends to have very strong feelings down liberal and conservative lines.Blueprint for Disaster: The Unraveling of Chicago Public Housing (Historical Studies of Urban America) Overview
