The Decline of Public Housing and the Politics of the Red Scare: The Significance of the Los Angeles Public Housing War
This article argues that the decline of the public housing program in the early 1950s has an overlooked political dimension—the role of the Red Scare/McCarthyism. Public housing advocates had used social democratic reform to secure the program. After the 1949 Housing Act, public housing foes were able to sequester the expansion of public housing legislation by turning to the local level. Many municipal policy battles attempted to limit the accept…

Housing and autonomy: Theoretical perspectives on non‐statist movements
Many analyses of alternative movements, e.g. squatting, formulate the demands of those movements within the framework of statist theory. This paper suggests that many of the actions and demands of these movements are simply anti‐statist and should be theoretically understood as such. The foundations for such a perspective can be traced from the political movements of the 1960s. In terms of housing policy a response, both theoretical and practical…
Organized Labor and the Housing Question: Public Housing, Suburbanization, and Urban Renewal
This paper examines those public-housing, suburbanization, and urban renewal policies in the United States of America that have evolved as a consequence of intraclass struggle. It is argued that the powerful constituency of organized labor was able, in the 1950s, to impose suburbanization as a valid answer to the housing question of the unions, while subsuming the housing demands, needs, and wants of less-powerful women and blacks. By the 1960s, …
