Good Places To Live

by Jim Silver
(Fernwood Publishing,
2011;
$19.95)

Jim Silver's latest, Good Places to Live, presents an unequivocal argument against the trend towards demolition of public housing projects and sale of these properties to private-sector developers. Pulling no punches, Silver characterizes such acts as a transfer of wealth from the poor to the already wealthy, and demonstrates the role of neo-liberalism in displacing the poor and furthering the current housing crisis.
