As debates about housing form an increasingly important arena of politicalcontroversy, much has been written about the new fissures that have appeared asgovernments not only struggle to reduce public expenditure deficits but also attempt toaddress problems such as affordability and homelessness. It is widely anticipated that newconflicts will be played out in the private rental market as access to homeownership becomesunrealistic and the supply of social housing diminishes. However, what other tensions mightsurface; that hitherto have not been subject to the critical gaze of housing research? In thispaper, we provide some thoughts on the nascent policy issues as well as the ideologicalschisms that are likely to develop in coming years, offering suggestions as to how the focusof housing policy research might be reoriented towards a politics framework to captureand better understand the conflicts that are likely to arise.
