The ideas we came up for today for housing were 

  • homelessness 
  • Social housing 
  • Young people 
  • Population 
  • Subletting/Airbnb 
  • Lack of numbers percentage problems of not having an address
  • Cities (Shanghai, Tokyo, London)
  • Tiny houses
  • Refugees 
  • Renting vs. buying 
  • Capsule/ tiny houses 
  • Eviction 
  • Empty houses
  • Gentrification
  • Flooding/ don castle 
  • Climate change 
  • Care system 
  • Benefits 
  • Population 
  • Grenfell 
  • Crisis housing/ shelter 
  • Natural disasters 
  • Problems of not having an address 
  • Suburbs 
  • Aging population 
  • Inflation 
  • Post war Britain
  • Attitudes/ the concept of owning something 

 

Suburbia 

  • isolated 
  • Less politically aware/ diverse 
  • Microcosm/ bubble 
  • Gated communities 
  • Upper middle class 
  • American dream 
  • Street car 
  • Consumerism 
  • Capitalist 
  • Class obsessed nature (British)
  • Hermit
  • Shut off 
  • Passive 
  • Not sustainable/ non environmentally friendly 
  • Still- static - slow- boring 

 

These were the brainstorms that we came up for today just off the top of our heads so I am interested to see if any of these opinions or topics change for me once I research more. We also decided to each choose a topic from the ones that we came up with today and I chose suburbia because I feel that it is a major thing in the u.s. and that is where I come from.
