Housing reformers are just beginning to appreciate these facts. They are coming to see that the hous- ing problem is a land and transportation problem and can only be solved as such.
Four Policies of Housing Reform.
Four general policies are being pursued as to housing. They are: 1. A laissez-faire reliance on private capital and the law of supply and demand to provide a sufficient number of houses to satisfy the needs of the com- munity.
2. The enactment of laws for the regulation of private b
...uilders materials, plumbing and sanita- tion, the area to be covered by structures, the cubic air space per occupant, etc.
3. The discouragement of land speculation on the one hand and the encouragement of building on the other by the reduction or removal of taxes on houses and improvements and the increase in the taxes on land; and 4. The building of model homes, tenements, and garden suburbs by the city itself or by co-operative associations aided by public loans. This policy has been most widely developed in Great Britain and Germany, in competition with private builders.
