Brighton and Hove City Council is at fault over its housing. For decades it sat back, observing the status quo as the situation became gradually worse.
Now it is paying the price for lack of vision and contingency plans. The city needs thousands of new homes for everyone, not just a privileged few like union workers and public servants.
The council has failed in its responsibility to its people and should immediately start building emergency housing.
If it does not, the situation will become more than untenable.
