Taking Profit
Only Way of

“You can’t eliminate slums unless you take the
profit out of slum ownership,” says Alan Brockbank,

president of the National Association of Horje
| Builders in an article in House & Home,
Brockbank visited tne slums/| ~

of almost every major city in/a penny of help from outside,’
the U.S. and talked with hun-/| simply because a single fine
| dreds of slum-dwellers, home| family moved in and inspired
builders, welfare workers and/children, teachers and parents
| government officials. His inves-| to work on the problem.

tigation convinced him that
there is “no excuse for anyone
being allowed to make a profit}
renting substandard homes that
are not fit to live in.

‘There is no reason why the
taxpayers should be saddled)
with the cost of slum rehabili-
tation to protect the slum land-
lords’ profits.”

During his nation-wide tour, |
Brockbank found in many cities |
thousands of slum houses built
as soundly as the new public-
housing units to replace them
were likely to be,

These findimes led to another
important conclusion: “You can
provide low-cost housing a lot
more. economically by modern-
izing old dwelling units than by
building new ones.

“I do not believe that any na-
tion is rich enough to tear!
down such well-built buildings |
and to replace them with new
dwellings erected at the tax-
payers expense,” Brockbank
Says

The most important discovery
Brockbank says he made during
his trip is that slums cannot be
eliminated just by tearing down
old buildings and replacing them
with new ones. '

“The problem of slums is not}
just a problem of buildings. It
is basically a problem of people,
and it just isn’t true that you
can change people just by
spending a lot of money to of-
fer them a better place to- live.”
NEGLECT

As an example, Brockbank re-
ports that Los Angeles police
traced more crime, juvenile de-
linquency and charity per fam-
ily to a new public-housing de-
velopment for which the tax-
payers had spent millions of
dollars, than they found in an
old slum nearby.

In Washington, D.C. on the
other hand, he found that the
decaying neighborhood on Old
Capitol Hill began to take on
new life and a new look without

“I have learned,’ Brockbank
says, “that the reason for slums |
is neglect—neglect in keeping |
up the dwellings, and neglect in|
the training of people. I have
learned that vigilance is making |
landlords keep up the property, |
and vigilance in the training of
people in how to live in a home

“The first requires laws gov-

When these laws are enforced,
the people will learn how to live
