Philip Mills powerfully argues that the housing crisis is a significantly larger, evolving issue than many realize, drawing parallels to post-war Britain’s rapid housing construction. He advocates for urgent community action, primarily through engaging with local government to demand systemic solutions. Mills emphasizes the need to rethink “affordable housing” and highlights the widespread impact – even among those with full-time jobs. Central to his message is the call for broad awareness and proactive advocacy, stressing Habitat for Humanity’s website (habitatwr.ca) as the key resource for involvement and support.
