Housing crisis now global, says former UN rapporteur
Original: The housing crisis is now global. It shows just how undemocratic our nations have become
Leilani Farha, former UN special rapporteur on adequate housing, argues in The Guardian that the housing crisis has become a worldwide problem and reflects how undemocratic nations have grown. She says that when people cannot afford to rent or buy a home, it raises the question of whether the financial sector was given too much power over housing and everyday life.
Why now: Skyrocketing rents and house prices in many countries are keeping housing affordability at the centre of public debate.
