Homelessness Is About Affordability: Author Patrick Markee on the Housing Crisis in "New Gilded Age"

New York City housing advocate Patrick Markee’s new book, Placeless: Homelessness in the New Gilded Age, looks at homelessness through the lens of housing affordability. Homelessness, which affects millions across the United States, “has roots in structural economic changes, right-wing economic policies and systemic racism,” explains Markee. “There’s a reason that other advanced capitalist countries in this world … don’t have the levels of homelessness that we have, and that’s because, there, government plays a much larger role in creating and even owning affordable housing.”
