Aiming at housing satisfaction

Article Abstract:

Recent studies have shown that re-housing after an area has been cleared can lead to stress and other social ills. These studies show that satisfaction levels varied enormously, and that people work to afford their homes and make emotional investments in them. Bad housing may cause physical health problems, but re-housing can cause mental health difficulties.
