Letter from Kastner concerning Wright’s accomplishments. “In our country the chief obstacle to any real solution of the moderate-cost house-problem is the fact that our people do not really know how to live, imagining their idiosyncrasies to be their “tastes, their prejudices to be their predilections and their ignorance to be virtue where any beauty of living is concerned. – Frank Lloyd Wright. Must be a pattern for more simple and, at the same time, more gracious living: new but suitable to living conditions as they might so well be in the country we live in today. This needed house of moderate cost must sometime face reality. The houses built by the million. Do no such thing. To me such houses are “escapist” houses, putting on some style or other, really having none. A style is not. There is all the difference when we work with style and not for a style.
