PositiveLos Angeles TimesStealing Home is a scrupulously detailed account, written in novelistic, economical prose ... Nusbaum’s history is more than just a nostalgic paean or a jeremiad; the history of public housing and so-called \'slum clearance\' is too tangled for that. Nusbaum is mindful of the fact that it was the city, not the team, that kicked the families out. And the city’s initial intentions were ostensibly noble ... Nusbaum keeps the book’s focus personal.
