Pre-Owned History of World War II The American Housing Crisis

The vintage films in this collection capture the frustration of soldiers, who upon returning home from World War II, found themselves battling for a place to live. The war had left the building industry deprived on skilled labor, and in doing so, had created a housing shortage. First off, "Problems of Housing" aims to make the average American handier around the house, suggesting that lack of riches shouldn't necessarily translate to a messy or raggedy home. "Ceiling on Your Homes" examines postwar deflation and promotes rent control as a way to ensure that veteran soldiers could afford to live in decent homes. The film "Home for Veterans" suggests possible ways for counteracting this housing crisis.
