I almost have all his books but can't find anything anywhere about one with
this title.
Anyone of you ever heard of it ?
Rgds,
emk
A good place to look would be:
http://www.nitrosyncretic.com/rah/index.html, and particularly the RAH
bibliography at:
http://www.nitrosyncretic.com/rah/rahpubs.html, and the "Opus List",
at:
http://www.nitrosyncretic.com/rah/ftp/nhol.pdf [you need Adobe
Acrobat, either the free "Reader" version or the full blown Acrobat to
load this].
I could not find "Housing Storage" as a title. I'd hesitate to guess
what book/story might have been translated into another language that
might have rendered its title as Housing Storage.
[If "- And He Built a Crooked House -" were 1947 vice 1941, I might
have guessed that one. ;->]

You might have in mind one of the stories from EXPANDED UNIVERSE. I
can't recall the title at the moment, but it deals with a housing
*shortage* (not "storage").

If you'd like a wild guess, try: "A Bathroom of Her Own," (1946), which
is a short story, not science fiction, dealing with local politics.
In 1946, in addition to it, Heinlein wrote: "How To Be a Survivor,"
which dealt in a way with 'housing,' i.e., bomb shelters and so on, and
'storage,' i.e., what to take into the shelter with you, later in
_Expanded Universe_, (1980). He also wrote "How To Be a Politician,"
later published under the title of _Take Back Your Government_ (1992),
with a quick forward by Jerry Pournelle, during the Perot campaign. And
he wrote some other essays he referred to as his period of 'world
saving,' not published until later, in collections such as _Expanded
Universe_ (1980).
In 1947, he wrote "Free Men," (in _EU_, 1980) "On the Slopes of
Vesuvius," (also in _EU_) "On the Writing of Speculative Fiction," (in
the recently late Lloyd Arthur Eshback's _Of Worlds Beyond_, 1947, by
Fantasy Press, 1964 by Advent), _Rocket Ship Galileo_, "The Green Hills
of Earth," in _TGoE_ (the collection), "Space Jockey," also in _TGoE_,
"Columbus Was a Dope," collected later in _The Menace from Earth_
(1959), "They Do It With Mirrors," also in _EU_, "It's Great to Be
Back!", in TGoE_, "Jerry Was a Man," in the collection _Assignment in
Enternity_ in 1953, and "Water Is for Washing," also in TMfE.
Don't know if this helps, but fwiw . . . .

Its mentioned in the intro of a Dutch translation of "The number of the
beast" and the title mentiond is "Housing Shortage", as Kate already
mentioned, and it dates from 1947.
It discusses how to deal with housing shortage in an original manner.
Thanks for all your help.

A story called "Housing Shortage" appears in the August 1947 issue of
ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION - but the table of contents lists the author
as Harry Walton, not Robert Heinlein.
(Heinlein did use quite a few pen-names, but "Harry Walton" does not
occur on any Heinlein-pen-names list that I have seen. Also, Harry
Walton wrote quite a lot of other science-fiction, whose titles *do*
*not* turn up on lists of Heinlein's fiction even though such lists
generally *do* include works written under known pen-names of Heinlein.)
That's what I also found out. This intro mentioned does not exactly describe
that it is as a story-title but as a subject that Heinlein wrote about. I
assume now that they where referring to "A bathroom of her own" from 1946 as
its goes into the subject of housing shortage just after the 2nd world war.

No book. Could you be thinking of "A Bathroom of Her Own", a short
story? -Eric
