"The numbers suggest the housing crisis is less about shortage than the unequal distribution of homes..." Excellent long read from Joh Plender on the true causes of the UK housing crisis: policy driven financialisation and inequality. on.ft.com/45NQmZC
@owenjonesjourno@adammarqalmeida Really eye-opening breakdown by @adammarqalmeida. The promise of new homes is great, but if they're mostly unaffordable rentals, is it actually fixing the crisis or just fueling buy-to-let profits? Would love to see Labour address these concerns head-on.
@owenjonesjourno@adammarqalmeida Labour’s build-to-let approach seems geared more toward big investors than ordinary people needing homes, making the housing crunch worse. Almeida is right—these plans don’t actually ease demand and only add to the wider problem of housing being treated as a financial asset.…
“Labour’s housing plans risk sacrificing real affordability by relying on investors who naturally prioritise their own returns.”
Excellent Guardian editorial on build-to-rent, citing @adammarqalmeida 👇

“We need to be careful not to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire with shiny new homes from institutional investors — homes with their own structural issues”.

Forgive me, I have skin in this London game because my Nan still talks about having to move out of Deptford when slums were being cleared and now people want to meet me there for fancy dinners
Opinion from FT’s Alphaville: The list of candidates for the Federal Reserve chair keeps getting longer. Given the potentially huge consequences of the choice, FT Alphaville thought it was worth grading the candidates on a variety of metrics. on.ft.com/3V1yGTW
