When even the rent on a single bedroom flat in many cities takes up more than a third of the wages of workers, we can be clear this is a system that rentiers have engineered to capture more of the economic surplus (paid in wages) than can be justified by their contribution to the UK's economic vitality.
This is a crisis of access to affordable living for workers seeking to build even a little life-resilience, not just those seeking to buy a home.
