Why might it be important to center these critiques in the movement for housing justice? Throughout the text, the authors reference numerous feminist analyses of how the home has always represented a site of struggle for women. The authors describe ontological security, a sense of emotional stability in one’s home environment, as “a subjective state, but depends on a number of structural conditions.” What are some of these structural conditions that enable a sense of ontological security? What are the three key factors that enable the hypercommodification of housing? What are some examples of these factors? What is the “housing question” as proposed by Engels, and what does it prompt us to consider about the modern housing system? You can visit the summary sections that address the question to check your work. Answer the following in your own words, and try to limit the number of sentences you use. Before we start pursuing transformative remedies towards the end of a more humane housing system, we must first make sure that we understand the ideas and analysis set forth by the authors.
