Letter: Invest in temporary housing By Peter Fels, Vancouver
Share:
Thanks for Martin Middlewood’s story about the Vancouver Housing Authority’s construction of housing during World War II to accommodate people who came to Vancouver to work in the shipyards (“Images From the Attic: Clark County History,” The Columbian, Dec. 27). It reminds me of what San Francisco authorities did after the 1906 earthquake, when thousands of tents were erected in city parks and thousands more “earthquake shacks” were built by union carpenters and made available for displaced citizens to live in temporarily and own at the end of paying two years’ modest rent: www.nps.gov/prsf/learn/historyculture/1906-earthquake-relief-efforts-living-accommodations.htm.
