After the spending review merely continued the Affordable Homes Programme that Labour inherited from the previous Govt. (with pretty much the same level of spending), its clear that merely allowing social housing providers to bid for AHP funds won't make up for the lack of social housing investment that has constrained new social housing construction for the last two decades (or more)... Angela Rayner will have her work cut out to deliver any tea relief from the housing crisis!

Better title: How the West Failed the Unhoused

And then they have the nerve to say that the problem is not Capitalism and Wage Slavery - it's us and our unwillingness to work, our laziness. That's complete bullshit!! The fact is that we live under a system that is for the most completely irrational and meaningless. Every apologist for capitalism must be utterly brainwashed, severely under the influence of bourgeois ideology ->

"In the end, the effect of There Is No Place for Us is stunning and bleak. Goldstone tells stories of undeniable injustice, none of them with a happy ending or a victory for the good guys. Each story is incontrovertible evidence that the American dream is a lie and that hard work, loving your family, getting good grades, or whatever other bullshit this country supposedly reveres doesn’t guarantee a safe living. In fact, they have absolutely no bearing on whether you end up OK or sleeping in your car with your three kids.

These stories are not five individually explicable outliers concerning people who were simply unfortunate; instead, they are five out of millions of similar stories. As readers conclude There Is No Place for Us, they will feel both the deeply personal impacts of the tragedies explored in the book (...) Every tragedy is unique, and yet in some respects it is not; these tragedies are everywhere, all the time, just often hidden from sight.

And what does it mean to have these stories laid out? If there were any justice, it would lead to enormous change. They are stories of people so obviously oppressed by our institutions and forces far beyond their control—people who are not merely unlucky or who have made bad choices—that the need ought to be clear. A book like this ought to be a rallying cry, the 21st-century equivalent of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle."
