"Blueprint for Disaster adds a new dimension to the [public housing] debate... Hunt locates the problems less with a poisonous mixture of political and real estate interests, governmental neglect and racism than the fact that there was no realistic financial plan for public housing and that residents were not engaged in the process." -Chicago Tribune"
