Scenarios about 'housing affordability'
Housing affordability refers to the relationship between housing costs and household incomes, measuring whether average families can access adequate housing without financial strain. It has become a significant socioeconomic issue in many developed nations since the late 20th century, influenced by factors including urban growth patterns, economic inequality, and housing market speculation. In alternate history scenarios, different housing policies, economic systems, or technological developments could dramatically alter housing accessibility and the social fabric of communities.
