## Resource

Bristol has become England’s most unaffordable city for renters, with tenants spending nearly half their income on rent—more than anywhere else. For teachers like Hannah, that means cutting pension contributions to afford groceries or basic comfort, revealing just how tight things have gotten. Activists demand rent controls, arguing landlords are overcharging and pushing people out, even as some wonder how this rivals London’s crisis. But critics warn rent caps could backfire, chilling investment and shrinking housing supply. For most, leaving isn’t an option—jobs, communities, and mental health tether them to the city, making survival the only real goal.
