- Review
-
The relatively dry subject of Why Public Housing Is So Good is explored. People are suffering in slums, and why, building Public Housing seems to solve every imaginarty problem there is! A total glosification of this subject is presented here, made none too convincing with the terribly unconvincing and somewhat nervous Mayor of New York City at the time, William O'Dwyer. Cool end graphic though.
