In many European cities, the price of housing has risen much faster than wages over the last twenty years. In Bristol, for instance, the average rent now takes nearly half of a young worker’s salary. As a result, many people in their twenties are still living with their parents, while others share a small flat with three or four strangers. Owning a home, once a normal goal for the middle classes, has become a dream for most.
Meanwhile, the number of social housing units has fallen because councils have sold many of them to private buyers. Charities warn that families on low incomes are being pushed out to the suburbs, far from their jobs and schools. The city council has promised to build two thousand affordable homes by 2030, but critics say it is not enough.
