What reading level is European Cities At Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Germany has attacked it with courage and intelligence. Bad housing is rec- ognized to be a national menace which must be cor- rected in the interest of the health and efficiency of the people.
And officials seem agreed that the trouble is that there are not enough houses. Not only that, but private capital will not build enough houses to keep pace with the demand. It is not the magnitude of the problem that prevents capital from building; it is the absence of a commercial interest to induce... it to do so. It is good business to perfect the automo- bile; to make it cheap, safe, and durable. Competi- tion compels this in most industries. But there is no such motive driving capital to build houses or to improve their appointments. Rather the reverse is true. Capital instinctively appreciates that a limi- tation of the supply of houses keeps up rents and increases the value of existing property. This is true because the housing problem is a land rather than a house problem. Land-owners act just as do coal 156 THE HOUSING PROBLEM IN GERMANY 157 operators, cotton-growers, or sugar-refiners in re- stricting the output.
