EU building permits new dwellings, May 2022 – May 2026
EU Building Permits for New Dwellings Show Signs of Stabilisation
EU residential building permits appear to have stabilised after a sharp downturn between 2022 and 2024.
While permit issuance recovered during 2025, momentum has slowed in recent months, suggesting that a stronger housing construction rebound is still some way off.

Where High Rents Drive People Into Poverty
A new study identified 10 locations where higher-than-average housing costs have impacted poverty the most.
By Elizabeth A. Harris, Sept. 29, 2026,
"The #HousingShortage in the United States not only drives up rents, it is also a significant driver of poverty, according to a new study released by the Pew Charitable Trust on Tuesday.
"The study examined parts of the country where lowering home prices would lift a significant number of people out of poverty — similar in effect to a major anti-poverty program — at a moment when the national conversation around housing has gained urgency at every level of government.
"The analysis found that in nine states and Washington, D.C., poverty rates are 16 to 34 percent higher than they would be if housing costs were the same as the national average. Most of those states are on the East Coast — #NewJersey, #Massachusetts, #Maryland, #Connecticut, #NewYork and #NewHampshire. #Hawaii, #California and #Colorado also made the list. The analysis was based on research by Zachary Parolin, a professor at the University of Oxford, who examined census data to determine the states where housing costs contributed to the greatest share of poverty.
"In New Hampshire, the poverty rate, as defined by the federal poverty line, is 16 percent higher than it would be with average housing costs. In Hawaii, the poverty rate is 34 percent higher. In most states included in the study, the rate of child poverty was even more elevated."

Am I the only one who thinks tearing down forests to build more houses won't solve the housing shortage?

apart from the massive problem of negative gearing… the housing problem is exacerbated by the costs of downsizing.
in victoria, if i am not mistaken, there is a once-only-per-lifetime exemption from stamp duty on a primary place of residence.
anyone who is 70+ in their own home who has ever moved in the past, might find the price difference between a 4 bed 2 bath residence and a 1 or 2 bed 1 bath residence is not enough to cover the cost of stamp duty if they downsize to the same area (not even the same suburb) — in which case, they cannot afford to downsize.

If that's the only argument against creating new housing, I think that's pretty lame... Especially when the "problem" already exists! Solve the problem, and help provide housing!!!
#Indiana - Developer to turn empty office into apartments
JORDAN FOUTS, August 22, 2025
GOSHEN — "An office building across from Fidler Pond Park could become an apartment building under plans heard Tuesday.
"The Goshen Plan Commission voted to rezone property at 1423 Lincolnway East to allow the former Commodore Homes office to be transformed into an apartment building. The proposal includes 24 studio and one-bedroom units in a two-story building.
"The board’s recommendation that the property be rezoned from commercial to residential will be taken up next by Goshen Common Council. Board member Doug Nisley voted against the rezoning after several [subdivision] residents voiced fears of seeing extra foot traffic come through their own property."
[...]
"“What has been happening, even when just Commodore was there, is people cross over through private property to get to our streets so that they can take walks [to the nearby park] or go to the grocery store or do whatever." [THE NIMBY HORROR OF THAT!!!]

#EmptyHomes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the #HousingShortage?
by Gerry Georgieva, 8/19/2025
Excerpt: "Not all empty homes are in the dire state of repair that Corina's once was. But roughly 265,000 of them in England have been vacant for longer than six months and are classified by the government as long-term empty (#LTE). (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different housing policies, as housing is a devolved matter in the #UK.)
"Fixing these would also have a significant effect on the communities around them, as long-term empty properties can attract anti-social behaviour and in some cases reduce an area's value."

Spain bans 'golden' investor visas for non-EU citizens in a bid to curb the housing crisis.
Spain this week stopped allowing non-EU citizens who make property investments access to residency visas, closing off a pathway to Spanish citizenship.
The government said it introduced the measure to help ease Spain’s housing shortage that could reach a deficit of 600,000 homes in 2025.
