## Resource

Bristol’s now the most expensive city in the UK to rent, with tenants paying nearly half their salary just to stay housed—turning everyday survival into a daily battle. While this crisis isn’t unique to Bristol, the city’s soaring rents are pushing people to the brink, leaving little for food, bills, or even dignity. Solutions like new housing and rent controls are being debated, but finding fixes that work without unintended consequences remains elusive. This is more than a local issue—it’s a national warning sign about how housing costs are reshaping lives across Britain.
