Public housing

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this topic because it is a topic that I am learning about in two other classes. This article allows me to tie what I have learned into a piece that will be seen by many. Plus it is nice to see familiar info and get a deeper understanding into it.

week 4 assignment redo: Everything in the wikipedia article about housing policy is accurate yes however, I felt that there was not enough information. One of my classes goes into a depth about housing policy and the history to how we got to where we are today and I feel as though more information could be added. Additionally, there was a lot of information about housing policy about dozens of other countries. I feel as though there should be more information on the USA itself verses how Mexico or South Africa is tackling housing policy. It is nice to know their strategy but it is nicer to know the US's shortcomings and solutions to navigate our treacherous waters.

Some of the data is out of date but I don't see it as an issue as they are part of what housing policy is today and the facts don't change.

The article does under represent historically marginalized populations. It does not talk about segregation and zoning which played a part in modern day housing policy.

the article is neutral and the links I clicked on are opening. the many articles shows a diverse and unbiased view towards the topic. I did not open every link but I can imagine that at least 2-3 are biased when it comes to a specific country's decisions.
