Are they *intentionally* going for a dystopian vibe?

NEW: ‘Help to Buy’ schemes mainly increased affordability for higher earners living in cheap areas, with limited impact on social mobility

🧵 @beeboileau.bsky.social, Lucas Conwell and @peterlevell.bsky.social’s new research examines the impact of Help to Buy on housing affordability: [THREAD]

Help to Buy mostly helped high earners, IFS says People with lower incomes benefitted less from the house-buying scheme than those with high incomes, the influential think tank says.

“Help to Buy mostly helped high earners”: new data.

To the surprise of no one with a smidge of economic literacy.

The "3.5% rule" *supposedly* says movements succeed when 3.5% of a population participates.
BUT the author of the study from which the figure comes says 3.5% isn't the cause of success, but a result of the tactics that do make movements successful. These include…

Staff in nonprofits often feel compelled to prove their positive impact - to ourselves & others - by working ourselves to exhaustion, & too caught up in a culture of urgency to notice there might be a simpler & more effective way of delivering impact.

Most Brits aspire to homeownership, but our odds of achieving it are increasingly determined by our parents’ wealth, not by our own efforts.

Ben Cooper column: 'Stop protecting golf courses, start building homes' - LabourList Golf courses serve one per cent of the population but take up vast amounts of land. In a housing crisis, Labour should be bold and build homes instead.

A good way to protect nature & build more homes is - as @bencooper1995.bsky.social says - to stop protecting golf courses, which are biodiversity deserts & take up twiceas much space as all current housing stock
