Almost 75,000 London families now in temporary housing
Peter Apps, an Orwell Prize-winning journalist, argues London can fix its housing crisis, pointing to rents above £2,200 a month for a two-bedroom home. First-time buyers now need a £134,000 deposit, while London has £3.3bn in new funding until 2030. Apps says the Renters' Rights Act shows campaigners can win, and wants Chancellor John Healey to back social housing in his Budget.
