  • In Response to a Recent Outbreak of Gang Warfare Violence at the Robert
    In response to a recent outbreak of gang warfare violence at the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago that left ten people dead over a weekend, the Director of the Chicago Housing Authority, Vincent Lane, wanted to have the Chicago police conduct a warrantless sweep search of the Taylor Homes, and to require residents to agree to such searches as a condition in their housing leases. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has challenged the constitutionality of the sweep search Director Lane wanted. The ACLU also indicated that it would vigorously challenge in court any policy of the Chicago Housing Authority that makes agreement to warrantless searches a condition of living in public housing. Under the circumstances prevailing at the Robert Taylor Homes would warrantless police sweep searches of tenants' apartments be morally justifiable? ANSWER: No: This is a difficult question that requires balancing the fundamental interest of public housing residents in security from life threatening violent criminal behavior and their basic moral right to privacy in their homes. In this case it seems that the balance must be struck in favor of the right of privacy. Given the widespread possession and easy availability of guns in the United States, it is uncertain how effective warrantless sweep searches would be, even if done frequently. On the other hand, the searches would have to be very thorough and intrusive in light of the ease with which a person can hide a gun. The situation at the Robert Taylor Homes is tragic and frightening, but dispensing with a warrant requirement for searches of apartment is not an ethically appropriate response to it.

  • "Tarred with the Exceptional Image": Public Housing and Popular Discourse, 1950-1990
    "Tarred with the Exceptional Image": Public Housing and Popular Discourse, 1950-1990 A. Scott Henderson I In 1986, readers of a major news magazine learned about Desire, a New Orleans housing project. Presumably open to all of New Orleans' "poor people," most of Desire's residents—as the text and photographs made clear—were African-Americans. Out of the project's population of 7,800, almost 3,000 were children, some of whom represented a "third generation of poverty " characterized by an "inexorable cycle of crime, welfare dependency and dimmed hopes." Moreover, Desire was a "world without order, cleanliness, privacy or parental supervision," where school drop-outs, teenage fathers, and unwed mothers were common. But if Desire conformed to a grim yet all too familiar image of public housing, its residents' behaviors, which included "violence," drug use, and random sex, were identified as the chief causes.1 While Desire typified the image of public housing presented by the periodi­ cal press in the 1980s, the issues of race and tenant behavior had not always framed depictions of housing projects. Between 1950 and the early 1960s,afairly positive conception of low-income subsidized housing dominated popular cov­ erage, a dialogue that stressed slum clearance and the dearth of affordable housing. By the late 1960s, though, a highly problematic image—based largely on race—had come to dominate the popular press, obscuring alternative represen­ tations that would have more accurately depicted the range and variety of public housing throughout America. Indeed, national datafor 1989 indicated that public housing was neither racially monolithic (one out of every three units was 0026-3079/93/3601-031$! .50/0 31 classified as white), nor occupied primarily by welfare recipients (35 percent reported wages and 45 percent reported social security/pensions as income sources).

MODERNISM ON TRIAL: AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION DEBATES IN CHICAGO Stephen M. Mitchell 119 Pages May 2014 This thesis explores preservation issues regarding modernist architecture in Chicago. As urban and public history research, the project examines the new questions brought to the forefront by recent controversies over the preservation of modernist architecture. Modernism, and an “all concrete” variant known as “Brutalism,” popular in the mid-twentieth century, aimed to remove ornament and historical references common in neoclassical, neo-Gothic, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco architecture and replace them with minimal, clean, glass-and-steel buildings. Modernists who, on principle, did not believe in preservation of past forms are now in the unlikely position of making such an argument for their own buildings. Never widely embraced in the first place, Brutalism’s concrete façades seemed less and less to reflect aesthetic tastes as architects turned back toward historicist styles by the 1980s.
