During our visit, we found most of our information on Farragut Houses from the old newspaper articles which was presented there. We found the information on the cost of the housing, how many families that they were planning to locate there and how many families and small businesses had to move out of the area to make this happen. It also presents the information about why the housing was planned, which is to solve the borough’s acute housing shortage. It made me rethink the reason behind why the housing was built which I first thought to be make the neighborhood cleaner and denser per square feet and to create more open land only. Now I can see that they also did try to reduce the housing shortage of the borough. It is good to see that they had a vision to improve the community.
