Can make you angry!

An excellent resource and window into the lives that went on inside theses houses. The angry part happens when you read that when the 1975 edition was published, it was discovered that only 34 of the 100 houses noted in the 1941 edition were still standing (most due to incompetent planning and lack of developer foresight). In 2005, the record is even worse.
