When we conceive of the housing crisis as a shortage, we necessarily find ourselves in an ugly discussion about migration, population and race. There are plenty of homes-per-capita, but we need to dispossess landlords and re-municipalise them theguardian.com/politics/202…

This is a huge win for the Aylesbury community and beyond. It will be key to stopping developers and councils deviating from agreed plans behind closed doors.
