The British Housing Crisis

The House of Commons of the United Kingdom is the lower house and the primary office of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. This House is in charge of managing the country’s new taxes and laws, regulating the Governments, and discussing the concerns of the day. The decisions made in the House of Commons would affect the very things that we do everyday.

​

The British Housing Crisis came about in the 1980s with the primary cause of the lack of new houses being constructed, and the abandonment of large scale housing construction projects by the public bodies. With small incentives to rush builds, unstable prices of housings and the shortage of housing creating problems of affordability, the governments of the UK stuck in a zugzwang of decisions. The severity of the state of affairs was exacerbated by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as social distancing is inherently difficult for the homeless, making it increasingly urgent to resolve the crisis.

 

You now have the power to guide the country back with perhaps a radical change in the inertia of UK housing policies.
