For millennials housing has been a perpetual crisis. Our cities are getting more full and more expensive. If you aren't part of a booming sector you find yourself moving further from where you work and spending more time & money on commuting - another climate issue to feel guilty about. But what is causing the housing crisis and what can we do to solve it? We were lucky enough to have fellow podcaster and HuffPost writer Michael Hobbes on to answer all our questions and solve the issue once and for all*. Michael has written a lot about housing recently, from the challenge of NIMBYism to the persistence of homelessness. He gave us the lowdown on the problems of US cities and all the ways it is similar to problems in the UK (hint: it's about neoliberal reforms). /BACKGROUND MATERIAL/ Homelessness Article: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/homeless-utah-end-america-salt-lake-city_n_5cd1cac0e4b04e275d511aba Contently - https://michaelhobbes.contently.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youre-wrong-about/id1380008439?mt=2 Twitter: https://twitter.com/rottenindenmark /C&D ELSEWHERE/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CandDPodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/connectedanddisaffected/ Blog: http://www.rowan-emslie.com/connected-and-disaffected-podcast-about-the-future-of-politics/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/connectedanddisaffected *lol
