The largest of these housing projects was Chabot Terrace which peaked out in population around 1944 - the year of my birth. My family arrived there circa 1949 well after the war's end. These temporary houses were in one word - awful! But they did serve their intended purposes. Barry Ashby Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
