This book is both a road map and a reckoning. Drawing on his own experience of on-the-ground organizing, Samuel Stein presents practical policies for enacting a right to shelter, a right to a home, and a right to the city itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith raw honesty, he then explores why these visions founder on the rocks of political reality. He reveals the forces blocking our path--from the power of real estate capital to the inadequacy of our institutions--and captures the complex feelings of a left that has lost faith in the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in the heady weeks surrounding Zohran Mamdani's historic election for New York City mayor, Stein frames the book around the stirring possibilities and structural constraints of a socialist administration in the financial center of a sputtering empire. He opens a space for action in the absence of hope. This is an examination of life and politics at the intersection of optimism and pessimism, nihilism and naivety, faith and doubt--an essential book for activists, planners, and anyone who refuses to accept the housing crisis as inevitable or immutable.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"A Right to Housing? | Samuel Stein | Paperback | 9781836743262 | New | Politics 1767281","offer_id":49851617345688,"sku":"1767281","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71WYG1sTyRL.jpg?v=1788876107","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/a-right-to-housing","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
