- 25. One of the principal causes of the widespread homelessness endemic in the United States today was the wave of S.R.O. hotel demolition that swept the country during the second half of the 20th Century. ! ! Across the U.S. an estimated 1 million S.R.O. units were destroyed between the mid-1970’s and 1990’s. The bulk of these demolitions happened in relatively short, intense periods. ! ! Chicago lost 80% of its 38,845 units between 1960-1980.! ! New York lost 60% of its units between 1975-81. !
- 26. S.R.O. neighborhoods were targeted for elimination because their populations did not fit into the long-term plans of the economic-political elite. ! !
