Bear in mind that their definition of "obsolete" according to the legend is "In 1940 over 50% of dwellings needed major repairs and/or lacked private bath." I'm not sure that I'd use the term Obsolete myself and it's certainly no excuse for social engineering, but I think we can agree that homes that were falling apart or didn't have private bathrooms were below the living standards of the 1950s and could use some renovation at the least.

I guess my point is that while the contents of the document are shocking, the map itself is perhaps somewhat more benign.
