Hope that better and socially-diffuse housing outcomes will somehow emerge from economic growth or the market is just that. Thomas Piketty in his book ‘Capital’ rightly points out that attaining such democratic social outcomes requires the creation of specific institutions for that purpose and not reliance on the market or transient parliaments. The ‘third sector’ offers an ideal domain around which to wrap the required constitutional and institutional support mechanisms. The private sector which is separate from the state but is ‘not-for-profit’. I’m passionate about the potential for a cross-party housing policy modus vivendi focused on enabling the ‘third sector’ to achieve better and socially-diffuse outcomes. As such, I’m directing my energy to learning about ‘not-for-profit’ housing policy interventions and systems, especially in exemplar European countries that have succeeded in widening access to affordable good quality housing, and how we can simulate those mechanisms here in Australasia (or pretty well anywhere for that matter) to shape better future housing environments.
