Golden Gates : The Housing Crisis and a Reckoning for the American Dream
281 Kč 399 Kč
Spacious and affordable homes used to be the hallmark of American prosperity. Today, however, punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of ownership have turned housing into the foremost symbol of inequality and an economy gone wrong. Nowhere is this more visible than in the San Francisco Bay Area, where fleets of private buses ferry software engineers past the tarp-and-plywood shanties of the homeless. The adage that California is a glimpse of the nation\'s future has become a cautionary tale.
\nWith propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting, New York Times journalist Conor Dougherty chronicles America\'s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist movements that have risen in tandem with housing costs.
