Originally published in 1986, this book provides an authoritative summary of late 20th Century trends which affected housing stock and a comprehensive commentary on policies which were designed to improve housing stock. The policies referred to are specific to England and Wales but the experience is relevant to other countries facing similar trends: a growth in owner-occupation, increasing problems of disrepair and low levels of investment in the housing stock. It will be on interest to those concerned with levels of investment in older urban areas, with the impact of subsidies on housing tenure, and with the role of government in controlling housing quality.

FOLKS FAMILIAR WITH THE TEXT OF THIS BOOK recommend thinking persons read this book. The author''s thoughts are unique, engaging, and needed, especially in the insane world we are currently living in. Individuals, of all stripes, need to read and understand what the author is revealing to them.

Someone, somewhere, is having doubts about the way they were brought up and programmed to believe in religion, God, and all other such "tales."

This book is a breath of fresh air, with dozens of reasons why individuals are correctly justified in attempting to break out of that programmed spell, that internal nagging about sin, coupled with religion''s fanciful infections it has infused them with. This book may help break the mental yoke they are needlessly burdened with and help them move forward to fulfill a greater, (your) self-destiny.

The author''s writing style is educational, informative, easy to read, and to understand. It expresses a positive, yet analytical viewpoint, that reasons out the criticisms posted against religious orthodoxies.

The author does not attempt to bash anyone or any religion by analyzing the content and context of what they present as truth, or even the existence of the God sapients created centuries ago. The author simply points out how religion and related fictional persons known as "saints" came about, and how it was thought all else came to be, when it wasn''t, or didn''t. The author points out the horrible relationship early humans thought they had with their God, and always ended up blaming themselves as the reason they fell so frequently to His punishments.

When many people did not want to worship as the programmed (gullibles) did, nor believe as they did, the programmed looked for an enforcement tool, and thought they found it, and called it "hell."

As the author notes, EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE DIES, and so will religion and the God notion. In addition to other musings, individuals are given new ways to think about reality, what it really is and is not. What it is not is fantasy.

Individuals need not fear, nor go about as fear-based humans, because of their prior programming; just go about as seekers of truth, enjoying what that endeavor will bring, to each individual''s mind.
