Housing Crisis in the UK: Costs and Local Governance

This chapter examines the mounting pressures of the housing crisis in the UK during the 2020s, focusing on soaring costs and struggles to secure affordable homes. It debates the government's approach to housing policy, which includes taking powers away from local councils, and the impact of this shift on local democracy and community decision-making. The discussion highlights the disconnect between planning permissions and actual home construction, the challenges posed by high interest rates, and the broader political implications for younger voters and Labour MPs.
