Detroit Public Library Author Series Presents: Howard Husock

Detroit Public Library author series presents Howard Husock in conversation with Jamon Jordan about his book The Poor Side of Town. The Poor Side of Town: And Why We Need It combines a critique of more than a century of housing reform policies, including public and other subsidized housing and exclusionary zoning, with the idea that simple low-cost housing—a poor side of town—helps those of modest means build financial assets and join in the local democratic process.
