The housing crisis in Britain is not a new issue, there's
been a shortage of homes for decades, and the issue is no closer to being
resolved. If those in power succeeded in
meeting our housing needs they might be worse off, which doesn't make the
situation any easier. A report by Shelter last year found the housing crisis
was so bad that a quarter of adults under the age of 35 were still living in
their childhood bedroom. In addition to overcrowding, we are suffering
astronomical housing prices, a growing waiting list for social housing - 1.69
million households in England alone – and a rise in homelessness. The reason
why is simple: we’re not building enough houses, and we haven’t for decades. Read
