Summary "The Cost of Shelter" by Ellen H. Richards is a social and economic analysis published in the early 20th century. The book explores the implications of housing on family life, social status, and economic stability in society, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by average-income families. Richards delves into the historical evolution of housing, the significance of shelter in emotional and physical well-being, and critiques the standards of living that dictate the costs associated with home ownership. At the start of the text, Richards sets the stage for her inquiry by connecting the notion of 'home' to feelings of safety, belonging, and community. She examines how housing conditions have changed from earlier times to her present and raises concerns about the physical and emotional strains imposed by modern urban living arrangements. The opening discusses the essential roles that homes play in family life, touching on themes such as societal expectations, evolving economic pressures, and the psychological effects of living environments on individuals and families. Additionally, she warns against a growing reliance on ostentatious displays of wealth linked to living spaces, urging a re-evaluation of priorities in defining a true home.
