Homes for Living

In Homes for Living, urban planner Jonathan Tarleton explores the complex struggles surrounding two Brooklyn and Manhattan social housing co-ops amid the broader American housing crisis. Through personal stories and historical context, the book examines debates over affordability, privatization, and community, highlighting the tension between preserving social housing as a public good and individual desires for profit. Tarleton's work sheds light on the multifaceted issues of race, class, and neighborship shaping the future of housing in America.
