In a new policy with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social, we spotlight an overlooked side of housing inequality: how living space is distributed. Both overcrowded and under-occupied homes have been rising in Germany in recent years. politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/progressive-...

(4) Sebastian Kohl, Max Steinhardt, and Simon Voss shift attention to an often-overlooked dimension of housing inequality: the distribution of living space. Overcrowding and under-occupation in the existing housing stock are rising. Policymakers should incentivize redistribution.

With the Progressive Politics Research Network, we have published 8 new research briefs on the politics of housing. What does a progressive agenda on housing look like? Which elements are important? What the hurdles are and how can they be overcome? politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/progressive-...

Happy to share that our research brief on housing space inequality in Germany will soon be published by the Progressive Politics Research Network! This work, a collaboration with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social , digs into who has access to space and how policy can address it.
