"Introduction"

Within the context of City and Regional Planning, these roadblocks are called Wicked Problems because they are troublesome and distressing, as one solution may cause another problem. Some Wicked Problems include water rights, mass incarceration, and methods of solving homelessness. Currently, a large Wicked Problem in the United States, as this paper specifically focuses on California, is the lack of affordable housing that leads people to become in debt, homeless, or reliant on others for assistance. This page explore the history and complications of housing, within the public and private sector, as well as present solutions that organizations have advocated for and how they attempt to meet the needs of the public.

"History"

Many low-income Americans lived in tenement housing, that contained several families on each floor with less than sanitary conditions. Living in these cramped spaces, diseases became easily spread and moving became difficult because these families relied on the close proximity to their jobs. Thus, Roosevelt appointed the President’s Housing Commission in 1908 to examine low-income neighborhoods and create new ideas for improved and liveable housing.
