Yes, we need to build more homes. But first we need to decide what homes go where. And we need to do that fast! #planforhousing NOW! theguardian.com/society/2024…

Homelessness jumps 16% in England, laying bare scale of housing crisis

Nearly 45,000 households had nowhere to live in the three months to December last year, official figures show

How many times do we have to say that @BlocktypeApp is a housing PLANNING tool, not a DESIGN tool! 😂

“The most important fact in modern British domestic politics: in the 1990s, a first-time buyer couple on a low-to-middle income saving 5% of their wages would have enough for an average deposit after three years. Today it would take them 24 years.” telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/03…

A generation has been cut adrift because of unaffordable housing

Britain simply does not have enough homes in the right places to offer young people a meaningful stake in society

Recently @michaelgove told councils that "better use should be made of small pockets of brownfield land." @samuel_stafford suggests three policy levers for how to achieve this. samuelstafford.blogspot.com/…

How many homes should we plan for, above and beyond current housing needs?
euan mills 🤖@euanmills27 Aug 2023
Reading @WanderingGaia's book makes our struggle to meet 300,000 homes a year look quaint. We need to start planning for the 1.5 billion climate migrants likely to be displaced by 2050 now!
