Scenarios about 'housing policy'
Housing policy encompasses government regulations, laws, and programs designed to address housing access, affordability, quality, and distribution across populations. These interventions have historically shaped demographic patterns, economic inequality, and urban development through mechanisms like public housing projects, mortgage regulations, zoning laws, and rent controls. Housing policies often reflect broader societal values and power structures, making them crucial points of divergence in alternate history scenarios exploring different social and economic trajectories.
