Download or read book Living Downtown written by Paul Groth and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the palace hotels of the elite to cheap lodging houses, residential hotels have been an element of American urban life for nearly two hundred years. Since 1870, however, they have been the target of an official war led by people whose concept of home does not include the hotel. Do these residences constitute an essential housing resource, or are they, as charged, a public nuisance? Living Downtown, the first comprehensive social and cultural history of life in American residential hotels, adds a much-needed historical perspective to this ongoing debate. Creatively combining evidence from biographies, buildings and urban neighborhoods, workplace records, and housing policies, Paul Groth provides a definitive analysis of life in four price-differentiated types of downtown residence. He demonstrates that these hotels have played a valuable socioeconomic role as home to both long-term residents and temporary laborers. Also, the convenience of hotels has made them the residence of choice for a surprising number of Americans, from hobo author Boxcar Bertha to Calvin Coolidge. Groth examines the social and cultural objections to hotel households and the increasing efforts to eliminate them, which have led to the seemingly irrational destruction of millions of such housing units since 1960. He argues convincingly that these efforts have been a leading contributor to urban homelessness. This highly original and timely work aims to expand the concept of the American home and to recast accepted notions about the relationships among urban life, architecture, and the public management of residential environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1984, SRO Housing Corporation was founded to improve horrific housing conditions in the Los Angeles Central City East area commonly known as “Skid Row.” Over more than 30 years, SRO Housing Corporation restored and reclaimed dilapidated dangerous Single Room Occupancy Hotels and built new residences from the ground up to create safe, affordable housing for low-income and homeless residents of Skid Row. Along the way, tens of thousands of men and women received the keys to new homes. Many had been homeless for years, even for decades. Cramped and crumbling hotel rooms were transformed into comfortable contemporary studio apartment homes. Often, the first thing new residents did, before opening the window or fluffing the pillow…was to stand still and weep, overcome by the extraordinary impact of opening the door to a new life. SRO Housing Corporation has gathered here a moving collection of first-person narratives of lives transformed through housing.
