"Between 2010 and 2020, 54 rough sleepers died in public parks, the analysis shows. Eighty-five homeless Australians died in countryside areas – including in bushland, desert, beaches and riverbanks – in the same period...It is a sobering indictment of societal abandonment and systemic failure." >>

A quotation from Henry Commager
What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.

The significance of this story is not only the immigration angle, but the mechanism: housing eligibility itself. HUD’s proposed rule would require verification of citizenship or eligible status for all residents in covered assisted housing, which could fundamentally change how mixed-status households are treated.

#Ageing #condos will not get public #funds for lift maintenance, renovation & redecoration works: #BCA
🤔"“The amount of funding to improve the lifts in #publichousing is significantly higher than te targeted co-funding which BCA is currently exploring for #private #developments to enhance te safety of their older lifts,” it said"
👆When nearly 78% of #Singapore's #population live in #public #housing, this statement may appear to be superfluous, perhaps even self-serving?🧐

This new rule could evict tens of thousands of people from their homes. This is a bigger change than past years because even families with US citizen children might lose their housing if one parent is undocumented.

RE: https://aus.social/@oscarjiminy/116078756166159731
'While operating and maintenance costs are necessary to provide housing, mortgage payments are not. Essentially none of the debt owed by owners of rent-regulated buildings is construction loans, and very little of it is financed capital improvements. The cost of servicing that debt is not part of the cost of providing housing. It rather reflects how much the owner has borrowed against it'

Renée Gailhoustet's apartment blocks with cascading terraces that seemed to have surrendered to nature
'Gailhoustet might be described as an “eco-brutalist”, but her work across the decades, after she graduated in architecture from Paris’s École des Beaux-Arts in 1961, cannot be easily pigeonholed. She specialised in social housing and urban planning in the suburbs beyond the périphérique – the less privileged, less photogenic Paris, where few tourists venture. Often combined with communal facilities such as shops and cafes, her housing megastructures were formally and spatially complex, like modern mini-cities'

"All Mamdani’s socialist bonafides cannot change the fact that he will be governing from within a capitalist system—or more specifically, that he will be the mayor of the financial command center of the global capitalist economy. But Mamdani’s opponents are not the only ones who can harness structural power, be it through new organizations like Our Time or legacy ones like the Met Council on Housing, New York’s longest-standing citywide tenants union. Though Mamdani’s opponents might have booby-trapped the rooms, that does not preclude his supporters from building their own barricades across the city.
New York City in 2026 may not be the ideal time and place to advance socialist housing policy, but this is how history proceeds. The keys to the house of government will soon belong to Mamdani and all the organizers who brought him to this point. If they are to succeed, they must enter with their eyes wide open to the traps laid before them."

In a rather lovely cosmic coincidence, degrowth researchers launch a manifesto 'Housing (for) a post-growth world' this week. Their proposals are echoed in my novel Well Housed where housing is a city resource distributed by the Housing Office.

Do you think it's possible for a city to provide free and equal housing?
One reviewer, in her 5-star review of my novel Well Housed said: 'The book took me from skepticism (“there’s no way this could ever happen”) to genuine curiosity (“what if something like this could work?”).'
