This documentary on Pruitt-Igoe was a very good portrayal of how poorly executed public housing is in the United States. This film brought me back to a discussion that I had in my History of Architecture class about whether housing should be a basic human right. During the discussion many of us highlighted that shelter is a necessity but the infrastructure for affordable housing is very complex when there is no profit being made. Sadly, many of the  projects similar to Pruitt-Igoe do not have the funding and government backing to grow as a community. When you think of affordable housing you also have to look at the wealth gap between many of these neighborhoods and how the decline of the St. Louis economy specifically affected the successfulness of Pruitt-Igoe.
