"Before I made myself a home in a shed, I was trapped in insecure renting and low-paid work. I felt alienated by books that failed to confront the preoccupying, draining effort of trying to stay housed."

The days of Home Ownership are dead and gone, with a minimum of a £20,000 deposit (triple that in London) how the hell can anyone save that amount, unless one has rich parents or a very good guaranteed job for life.
No renting will grow and grow, ever increasing rents will create more homeless people, Living standards for most will cont to drop, we will all soon be back to 1930s living and housing standards.
