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, the growing movements of women and blacks were able to challenge the dominance of the labor-liberal coalition and to successfully oppose the union-advocated policies of urban renewal and suburbanization
