Abstract
While government housing policy after the Second World War supported building more affordable housing for returning veterans, by the 1960s and 1970s it was clear that the goals of housing had spiralled into unaffordable projects for median incomes. Large government sponsored projects also were underfunded for maintenance and continued services for changing tenant needs. By the 1980s what had become a paralyzed area of national policy was transformed into a commodification process. Where the entities that had been established to build affordable housing were transformed, like the redevelopment agencies, into destruction of the most affordable housing, the finance vehicles like the FHA (established in 1934) were transformed in the 1960s into “enterprise” units like the Fannie Mae and began to support speculation in mortgages and housing on a grand scale until the credit crisis of 2007. The Goodman Building rent strike took place in this context of a city and national crisis over housing.
