Governments are mishandling the affordability crisis

The Economist argues that governments are failing to address the affordability crisis gripping households, with policy responses falling short as costs of housing, energy and everyday essentials keep rising. Readers are debating whether politicians misdiagnose the problem, and whether subsidies and price interventions do more harm than good compared with structural fixes like boosting supply.

Why now: Persistent high living costs keep affordability at the centre of political debate, and a prominent publication's critical assessment is drawing attention.
