Author Reply on The REAL Rental Housing Issue
My point, which [Mr. Siddons] may have missed, is that we have created a system in this country where housing is inherently too expensive for millions of families at the bottom of the income scale, and that as a result, we have condemned those millions -- except for the lucky ones who win the voucher lottery -- to lives of desperation and insecurity, with devastating consequences not only for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren, and for society as a whole . . . I [also] agree with Carol Ott that there are many moderate income families that are also struggling, and agree that we could do more to meet their needs. I'm concerned about the inference, though, that meeting their needs and addressing the needs of the poor are a zero sum proposition, or that somehow the moderate income families deserve it more . . . --Alan Mallach
