America’s Housing Challenge By Roger Starr Hill and Wang, 130 pp., $8.95

Roger Starr seems to have been designed to write about housing. A member of the editorial board of the New York Times, Starr was head of the New York City Housing and Development Administration, and executive director of the Citizen’s Housing and Planning Council before that. Three years ago, he filled a special issue of The New Leader with an essay on housing problems. That essay, expanded and updated, is now this book.
