Описание:
In Better Must Come, Matthew D. Marr reveals how social contexts at various levels combine and interact to shape the experiences of transitional housing program users in two of the most prosperous cities of the global economy, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Marr, who has conducted fieldwork in U.S. and Japanese cities for over two decades, followed the experiences of thirty-four people as they made use of transitional housing services and after they left such programs. This comparative ethnography is groundbreaking in two ways—it is the first book to directly focus on exits from homelessness in American or Japanese cities, and it is the first targeted comparison of homelessness in two global cities.Marr argues that homelessness should be understood primarily as a socially generated, traumatic, and stigmatizing predicament, rather than as a stable condition, identity, or culture. He pushes for movement away from the study of "homeless people" and "homeless culture" toward an understanding of homelessness as a condition that can be transcended at individual and societal levels. Better Must Come prescribes policy changes to end homelessness that include expanding subsidized housing to persons without disabilities and experiencing homelessness chronically, as well as taking broader measures to address vulnerabilities produced by labor markets, housing markets, and the rapid deterioration of social safety nets that often results from neoliberal globalization.
Описание: Offering practical ideas for fixing problems that make too many Americans unable to afford adequate housing
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the poorest one-fifth of U.S. families struggled to pay the rent or mortgage without foregoing other necessities. A growing number of middle-income families face difficult tradeoffs in their housing choices: devote a larger chunk of their paycheck to housing costs or endure long commutes. More than 50 years after the federal Fair Housing Act was passed, Black homeownership rates are 30 percentage points lower those of white households, and most cities still have high levels of racial segregation. Most new housing is built in car-dependent areas on the exurban fringe, far from jobs and public transportation, even as the impacts of climate change become ever more apparent.
The United States doesn't have an integrated, coherent housing policy to deal with these problems. Rather, it has lots of different policies designed and implemented by a variety of public agencies. Where and how governments choose to invest public funds in roads, public transportation, and other infrastructure has profound implications for housing prices and availability.
This book provides an action plan for how federal, state, and local policies should be restructured to achieve better housing outcomes for individuals, families, and communities. The author proposes systemic change in the political processes regulating housing production, federal tax policy, funding for transportation and infrastructure, and greater federal support for the social safety net. One possible driving force for some of these changes could be the potential emergence of new coalitions that align the economic and political incentives of young, racially diverse, urban renter households with conservatives who favor limited government.
As the first book addressing the broad set of local, state, and national housing policies, this book is for policymakers, journalists, and advocacy groups engaged in the housing field, as well as general readers. The book also will make an excellent teaching resource for advanced undergraduate or master's courses in urban planning and public policy.

Описание: In this book, Brian Lund builds on contemporary housing crisis narratives, which tend to focus on the growth of a younger ‘generation rent,’ to include the differential effects of class, age, gender, ethnicity and place, across the United Kingdom. Current differences reflect long-established cleavages in UK society, and help to explain why housing crises persist. Placing the UK crises in their global contexts, Lund provides a critical examination of proposed solutions according to their impacts on different pathways through the housing system. As the first detailed analysis of the multifaceted origins, impact and potential solutions of the housing crisis, this book will be of vital interest to policy practitioners, professionals and academics across a wide range of areas, including housing studies, urban studies, geography, social policy, sociology, planning and politics.
