Housing

By Shamble

  • Prehistoric

    Housing, depending on parts of the world, is largely itinerent with some permanent structures for religious reasons

  • First US Public Housing

    The start of the projects, a well intentioned idea that would lead to white flight, ghettoization, and the de facto segregation of the American school systems.

  • Suburban Livin'

    Affluent groups move away from urban centers, taking their money with them, and contributing to urban sprawl, a nicer highway system, and the rise of the strip mall.

  • 1999 Gentrification

    Cost of building materials is on the rise, and the experiment of public housing seems to have failed, but rap has romanticized the inner city. Rich people start slowly encroaching on safer low income neighborhoods to feel connected to the city they abandoned a good fifty years ago.
