Trigg, Chairman; Relationship of Income and the Home, Niles Carpenter, Chairman; Types of Dwellings, John Ihlder, Chairman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have concerned ourselves too little with the effect of home ownership on citizenship. In the planning and production of our housing we have given no thought to its in?uence in aiding or obstructing self-government. No one denies that for reasons other than financial ones, home ownership is impossible or unwise for many members of the population - for example, the unmarried and those whose occupations require frequent Shifts of location. But for the sake of our political institutions and what they mean to our liberties, we should not forget that the obstacles to a much greater percentage of home ownership than we can now boast are artificial and capable of removal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo be specific, the Committee on Types of Dwellings in this volume examines the heavy trend which developed in our cities in the 1920''s toward multi-family dwellings. How much of that trend resulted from a carefully planned response to studied needs and demands and how much from an unconsidered adjustment to the line of least resistance by Speculative builders, concerned pri marily to get the greatest profit in the Shortest time? Thousands of families live in apartments because. They have no choice. Where investigations have been made - in Detroit and in Chicago - the majority of apartment dwellers have said they would prefer one family homes if they could get them well equipped and at the same price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
