If we don’t sort out housing affordability, expect the kind of anger, distrust, and populism that characterize politics in the UK and the U.S. to become the norm here.

These days when people under 25 complain about housing affordability they are no longer complaining about never owning a home, they are complaining about not being able to afford rent in a house that is safe.
