They feel locked out of a future that once seemed achievable.","additional_details":"Full-time work should provide a clear path to stable housing. We ask the Government to urgently review housing affordability and introduce reforms that:\r\n\r\nLink house prices more closely to local wages\r\nTackle excessive rent burdens that prevent saving\r\nAddress speculative and investor-driven price inflation\r\n\r\nHousing is not a luxury. It is the foundation of family life, financial security, and stability.\r\n\r\nRestore fairness and make home ownership achievable again for ordinary working families.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2026-02-17T23:14:44.343Z","updated_at":"2026-03-24T16:42:07.157Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-24T16:41:56.737Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-18T00:24:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: \"Prioritise construction and review policies for affordable housing\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/760165"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
