Item Description
"As this fast-moving narrative unfolds in apartments, front yards, and sidewalks, with plenty of trouble and gossip and misgivings, it becomes above all an American story, full of strife, and not without hope."
-- Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock
Not in my backyard -- that's the refrain commonly invoked by property owners who oppose unwanted development. Such words assume a special ferocity when the development in question is public housing. Lisa Belkin penetrates the prejudices, myths, and heated emotions stirred by the most recent trend in public housing as she re-creates a landmark case in riveting detail, showing how a proposal to build scattered-site public housing in middle-class neighborhoods nearly destroyed an entire city and forever changed the lives of many of its citizens.
This copy is signed by Yahoo News senior correspondent and author Lisa Belkin.
