A scandal or a crisis?

Sir, – I would have thought that after however many years of a “housing crisis”, it might be time to start calling it “the housing scandal”.

I have worked in a healthcare capacity with the homelessness services, and I tell you it is a sobering experience to see grown men fight back tears as they describe the indignity of living on the street. Housing (ie shelter) must be viewed, first and foremost, as a human right, and not a wealth-extracting commodity. – Yours, etc,
