Could street votes be the key to unlocking the UK’s housing crisis? Our new paper with @britishprogress.org explores how ministers could turn to residents to help create thousands of new homes.

What if the residents of a street could collectively decide to build more homes on it - and share directly in the benefits? That's street votes. In our new paper with @labourtogether.bsky.social we set out how community-led street votes could help Steve Reed build 1.5 million new homes.

The Case for Abundance: Why Demand Suppression Won’t Fix the Cost of Living
The composition of inflation means that the cost of living is more acute for ordinary households. Solving this requires abundance: particularly in the supply of housing and energy.
