The Death and Life of Great American Cities - Jane Jacobs

Erosion of Cities or Attrition of Automobiles - We went awry by replacing, in effect, each horse on the crowded city streets with half a dozen or so mechanized vehicles, instead of using each mechanized vehicle to replace half a dozen or so horses. [p. 447]

Subsidized Dwellings - Jacobs describes a radically different vision for public housing integrated into private residential areas based on guaranteed rents as subsidy combined with guaranteed financing for landlords providing the subsidized housing.
