Urban and Housing Policies under Chile's Military Dictatorship 1973-1985

Abstract

Our situation is a nightmare that doesn't end because we can't even return the house. We wanted to die of shame the day we had to take out our things under the threat of legal seizure. It was humiliating, we felt like thieves. But I know it's not ourfault. It's the fault of an unfair system. The government ought to admit it, to say frankly that it doesn't want the middle class to have houses [HOY, October 28, 1985, No. 432J
