{"product_id":"the-poorhouse-devereux-bowly-9780809330522","title":"The Poorhouse: Subsidized Housing in Chicago","description":"\u003cp\u003eChicago seems an ideal environment for public housing because of the city's relatively young age among major cities and well-deserved reputation for technology, innovation, and architecture. Yet \u003ci\u003eThe Poorhouse: Subsidized Housing in Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e shows that the city's experience on the whole has been a negative one, raising serious questions about the nature of subsidized housing and whether we should have it and, if so, in what form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBowly, a native of the city, provides a detailed examination of subsidized housing in the nation's third-largest city. Now in its second edition, \u003ci\u003eThe Poorhouse\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the history of public housing and subsidized housing in Chicago from 1895 to the present day. Five new chapters that cover the decline and federal takeover of the Chicago Housing Authority, and its more recent \"transformation,\" which involved the demolition of the CHA family high-rise buildings and in some cases their replacement with low-risemixed income housing on the same sites. Fifty new photos supplement this edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCertificate of Excellence\u003c\/i\u003e from the Illinois State Historical Society, 2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Devereux Bowly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0809330520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780809330522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Illinois University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Devereux Bowly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476868686079,"sku":"9780809330522","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_706f5b3f-3fe3-478d-8ebe-21813f55cb6d.jpg?v=1715918394","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poorhouse-devereux-bowly-9780809330522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
