Europe’s housing crisis is fuelling the rise of the far right. Our research shows how to address it | Tarik Abou-Chadi, Björn Bremer and Silja Häusermann
The mantra of ‘build, build, build’ misses something crucial: that few can afford these new homes, say Tarik Abou-Chadi, Silja Häusermann and Björn Bremer

In a new policy with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social, we spotlight an overlooked side of housing inequality: how living space is distributed. Both overcrowded and under-occupied homes have been rising in Germany in recent years. politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/progressive-...

(4) Sebastian Kohl, Max Steinhardt, and Simon Voss shift attention to an often-overlooked dimension of housing inequality: the distribution of living space. Overcrowding and under-occupation in the existing housing stock are rising. Policymakers should incentivize redistribution.

Happy to share that our research brief on housing space inequality in Germany will soon be published by the Progressive Politics Research Network! This work, a collaboration with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social , digs into who has access to space and how policy can address it.
