The Pruitt-Igoe film discussed public housing and its relation to race and socioeconomic status. An intriguing point brought up was how slumlords would take advantage of economically disadvantaged people who desperately needed a home, by providing homes that had terrible living conditions. I’m surprised at how little regulation there was for slumlords, and how the government and organizations in positions to help did little (or if they did anything, acted very slowly) to improve living situations, even though the housing situation was dire and definitely required immediate attention. I think that the Pruitt-Igoe film shows how governments should work on improving socioeconomic statuses for citizens, which will decrease situations where people are desperate for a place to live but have no means to afford it or to find a better place to live.
