Summary

"Public Housing" delves into the complex world of government-funded housing, exploring its potential to solve the affordable housing crisis while acknowledging the risks of perpetuating inequality. The book examines various social housing policies and their impact on urban development, raising questions about whether these initiatives truly offer a path to social equity. One intriguing insight is the historical evolution of public housing, from its origins in the late 19th century to its current challenges, including funding shortages and stigmatization.

 
Another key aspect is the book's exploration of how different ideological approaches, such as welfare-state models versus neoliberal approaches, shape the design and accessibility of public housing. The book adopts an analytical approach, using statistical data, qualitative research, and policy analysis to offer a comprehensive overview. It progresses by first introducing core concepts like affordable housing, then examining case studies from various countries, and finally proposing a framework for more equitable housing policies.

 
It emphasizes that successful public housing requires a holistic approach, integrating social support, community engagement, and economic empowerment. Ultimately, the book argues for adaptable policies responsive to the unique needs of individual communities, providing valuable perspectives for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in addressing housing shortages.

    Life and Death at Abbey Gate -...

    "...a brutal, honest account by an American veteran of what went wrong and how a few determined people tried to make it right. Beautifully crafted and deeply researched, it marks a vital contribution to the accounts that have come out of the War on Terror."— Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author

As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to honor the U.S. battlefield creed to leave no comrade behind.
 
Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked feverishly around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans who had supported U.S. troops over the past twenty years as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing 13 U.S. service members, operations came to a halt.
 
Told through the eyes of Mikael, his Afghan friend Abdul and the 2/1 Marines on the ground, including a Marine squad leader who personally led the Afghans through the airport, Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021. 
 
This is an important story that should be read by all Americans. A story of leadership, empty government promises and the convictions of our military to stand by our allies in their time of need.
