How have market forces and policy failures contributed to the current housing crisis in the EU?

Rising housing costs, exceeding inflation (36% in 2023), stem from market forces and insufficient construction since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Housing Europe's Sorcha Eduards. This has widened the gap between housing costs and income, exacerbating the crisis and impacting young adults' ability to live independently. The overreliance on market forces has created a situation where housing affordability is severely compromised.

This forces many to accept unstable housing or long commutes, affecting their well-being and potentially impacting the delivery of vital services.
