Housing today constitutes new terrain for financial capital expansion and financial speculations. These changes have brought about the increase in the prices of housing and land and together with it the unprecedented household debt. Due to speculations the number of empty flats waiting to be sold off only when the price is right has been growing. In this situation housing has been increasingly changing function from someone's home to a place for investment, savings, or collateral for someone's pension. Some of the consequences of such a system have been growing housing precarity, an army of evicted and homeless, as well as the whole generations unable to provide for home of their own. In our opinion as long as housing continues to be treated as an asset these problems will prevail.
