The Santa Barbara United Nations Associations VP, Sharon Byrne, has worked on the global housing crisis and presented it to California and local government entities. Look at the problems of profitization, speculation, and displacement of people globally by speculative forces. Why isn’t Housing A Human Right in our constitution, when Spain and Italy added it to theirs? Why did Berlin just vote to seize apartments from corporations leaving them vacant, and why is Seoul converting hotels to studio apartments? What happened with China’s Ghost cities, and why do they have 1-3 million people experiencing homelessness. Why have New Zealand and Canada’s housing prices more than doubled? Learn how California and Santa Barbara are completely affected by these speculative financial forces, and let’s look at housing policies from around the world and what we can do about this crisis today.
