- 3 - Here in the Oakland area, you have a serious housing shortage. You need more housing at lower prices 3. "NATIONAL prices which families of moderate income, particularly veterans' families, can afford to pay. You also desperately need low-cost rental housing so that the thousands of families living here in temporary dwellings can be taken care of. In July, Nineteen Forty-eight, I called the Congress into session and asked it to pass the Taft-Ellender-Wagner Bill which would have given us more housing at lower prices and at lower rents. This bill was bitterly opposed by the housing lobby. The Republican leadership had a choice to make between the interests of the housing lobby and the interests of the people.
