Local authorities found that Hoovervilles were often difficult to impossible to remove, because the people who lived there had no where else to go. Many local authorities opposed civil housing programs as they claimed such housing would depress property values and were Communistic.

The Hoovervilles were torn down when legislation against them was passed in 1941.
