  • There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster: Race, Class, and Hurricane Katrina

    Gregory D Squires, Gregory Squires et al.BOOKThere Is No Such Thing As a…2013

    There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive critical book on the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. The disaster will go down on record as one of the worst in American history, not least because of the government’s inept and cavalier response. But it is also a huge story for other reasons; the impact of the hurricane was uneven, and race and class were deeply implicated in the unevenness. Hartman …

  • The Integration Debate: Competing futures for American cities

    Chester Hartman, Gregory SquiresBOOKThe integration debate2009

    Racial integration, and policies intended to achieve greater integration, continue to generate controversy in the United States, with some of the most heated debates taking place among long-standing advocates of racial equality. Today, many nonwhites express what has been referred to as "integration exhaustion" as they question the value of integration in today’s world. And many whites exhibit what has been labeled "race fatigue," arguing that we…

  • Evictions: The hidden housing problem

    Chester Hartman, David Robinson et al.ARTICLEHousing Policy Debate2003

    Although evictions are a major housing problem that disproportionately affects lower‐income and minority tenants, no systematic data about evictions are collected on a local or national level. This article presents the scattered available data on the magnitude and impact of the problem, along with existing model efforts to reduce its incidence and impact. Creating a national database on evictions—how many, where, who, why, and what happens to evi…

  • City for Sale: The Transformation of San Francisco

    Chester HartmanBOOKCity for Sale2002

    San Francisco is perhaps the most exhilarating of all American cities--its beauty, cultural and political avant-gardism, and history are legendary, while its idiosyncrasies make front-page news. In this revised edition of his highly regarded study of San Francisco's economic and political development since the mid-1950s, Chester Hartman gives a detailed account of how the city has been transformed by the expansion--outward and upward--of its down…

  • A Research Note: Military-Family Housing: The Other Public-Housing Program

    Chester Hartman, Robin DrayerARTICLEHousing and Society1990Cited by: 1

    The uniformed services currently own and operate some 400,000 family housing units, making the Department of Defense the nation’s largest landlord. This generally unrecognized form of public housing has three unique features. First is the use of capital grants, in the form of direct Congressional appropriations embedded in the Defense Department budget, rather than credit for construction funds. Second is that the military family-housing system i…

  • Housing Allowances: A Critical Look

    Chester HartmanARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs1983Cited by: 1References: 1

    The Reagan Administration would like to introduce housing allowances as the federal government’s principal low-income housing program. The results of HUD’s 10-year Experimental Housing Allowance Program suggest important structural limitations to this approach. Only a small portion of the housing allowance is spent on housing. An allowance is likely to least serve those who most need housing assistance. The stock of vacant units is inadequate to …

  • Rejoinder to “Another Look at Housing Allowances”

    Chester HartmanARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs1983

    Housing allowances do not perform as well as other subsidy approaches along many important dimensions. Limiting allowances to the very poor guarantees failure of the program, as it is the very poor who are least able to find decent housing on the private market. Studies of the Section 8 Existing Housing program demonstrate the inadequacy of the housing stock to meet low-income households’ shelter needs. And the various forms of housing discrimina…
