## Resource

Edinburgh’s housing emergency is no longer a warning—it’s a crisis, and the city’s leaders are still playing whack-a-mole with policies that won’t fix the real problem. With a new Local Development Plan underway and a damning “Development Viability” report exposing how restrictive housing rules are stifling construction, the city’s stuck in a loop of empty promises. Meanwhile, current tenants in council housing face broken lifts, delayed repairs, and crumbling conditions—despite being the very people the city claims to serve. It’s time for Holyrood to stop rearranging deck chairs and start delivering real, scalable solutions that match the scale of the crisis.
