I do remember those times back then when everyone was in an uproar over the low income housing issue. I don't seem to recall some of the violent scenes in the movie though and that was pretty shocking to me.....All in all; everything turned out ok.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the book gave me a terrific understanding of the dynamics of creating additional affordable housingBy Jed M. ShiversAs a more recent resident of Yonkers; the book gave me a terrific understanding of the dynamics of creating additional affordable housing. I appreciated the perspective of the various individuals involved from the Judge; the Mayor; Councilman and citizens for and against. The view from the people in the housing projects were ones that more affluent Americans are spared from having to experience and that was also important. The weakest part of the book was whether or not the scattered housing plan has been a success both in Yonkers but also in metropolitan areas around the country. Westchester County; which includes Yonkers; haas been under federal pressure to produce affordable housing and seems to skate by year after year.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Love this bookBy Anne ElliotThis is a great read! I honestly could not put this book down. The writing is fluid and intriguing. You really become invested in this fascinating story and learn a lot of about inner city politics. But it's written in such an interesting way that even if politics aren't your favorite subject; the plot and the people involved make this a very relatable tale that everyone should read about.
