Modern Housing w/ Gail Radford
The Dig
Evolution of the American Housing System
Gail Radford, a history professor, discusses the historical development of the American housing system from before the 1930s to modern times. The conversation touches on the promotion of home ownership by elites, challenges faced by individuals during economic downturns, and the impact of government housing programs post-World War I. The chapter also examines the shift from small-scale speculators to larger developers, the consequences of high housing costs, and the challenges of implementing non-market housing solutions in a society where housing is seen as an investment rather than a social good.
