in 1935, 40 years after the lumière brothers projected the first moving images to a paying audience in Paris, the documentary film Housing Problems was produced in Britain. Housing Problems is a documentary about the poor housing conditions associated with rural to urban labour migration in the late 19th and early 20th century. the 13-minute documentary includes interviews with residents of so-called slum housing and is thought to be one of the first housing documentaries to centre the voices of tenants, although there is debate about whether the resident interviews were scripted. a set of new housing development models are presented in the second half of the film, which gives the documentary a promotional aesthetic, as this quote from the narrator shows: ‘a great deal of thought from architects, engineers and other experts has gone into the design of buildings for rehousing. Here is a model of a block of flats prepared by the British Steel Work association and based on recommendations by the Council for the research on Housing and Construction’ (Elton & anstey, 1935). the housing development politics of the film become even clearer in the last quarter of the film with the narrator suggesting: ‘When a public authority embarks on slum clearance work it must take people just as they are. it is, however, our experience that if you provide people from the slums with decent homes they quickly respond to the improved conditions and keep their homes clean and tidy’ (Elton & anstey, 1935).

I would like to start by thanking Emma Power for putting this book forum together and the three reviewers for their thought-provoking remarks on The Right to Dignity: Housing Struggles, City Making and Citizenship in Urban Chile. Due to space constraints, it is almost impossible to address each set of comments in this response, so I see my reply as a possibility to initiate a productive intellectual exchange with Kristin Skrabut, Amanda Tattersall, and Samantha Thompson. Taken together, their comments help me situate my own research in a more global context, while allowing me to clarify some elements of my argument that I do not develop fully in the book. I’ll focus my reply on two aspects through which I can address some of my interlocutors’ thoughts: paradoxes and contestations.

at the heart of Miguel Pérez’s compelling historical ethnography, The Right to Dignity, is a puzzle: how do we account for the emergence of collective action against the marketisation of social rights (e.g. housing, education, healthcare) in 21st century chile, a context in which it seemed that strong arm neoliberal dictatorship and its demobilising democratic successors had snuffed out revolutionary possibility? Pérez responds to this question by analysing the organising practices and political tactics of santiago’s Comites de Allegados: housing societies composed of people residing in the homes of relatives while fighting for subsidised “homes of their own” in the now unaffordable neighbourhoods in which they grew up. following the lead of activists themselves, Pérez also looks to the history of autoconstruction in chile, and to an array of social theory – from tarrow’s cycles of protest, to austin’s performative linguistics, to Butler’s undoing of the sovereign, pre-social subject – to demonstrate how 21st century, subsidy-seeking allegados might constitute a genuine “re-emergence” of chile’s 20th century, autoconstructing pobladores. combining ethnographic, historical, and theoretical lenses throughout the book, Pérez examines how acts of “waiting” for subsidies can generate disruptive citizen subjectivities (chapter 3); how activists draw on languages of inheritance and struggle to construct an urban-based citizenship with its own progressive and exclusionary potentials (chapters 4 and 5); and how the institutionalised humiliations of living as an allegado and having to “ask permission” from homeowners to lead their desired domestic lives, have prompted chileans to rise up and demand “rights to dignity” (chapter 6). though The Right to Dignity touches on a range of fascinating issues – a quality that makes it a thought-provoking piece of scholarship and a useful teaching tool– here I will focus on three: identifying the source of revolutionary possibility in chile’s housing movements, the generational paradoxes of property mobilisations, and the origins of “dignity” as a political claim.

Abstract It is often assumed that people experiencing homelessness gravitate to large cities and central city areas because of the concentration of homelessness services — a so-called magnet or honeypot effect. Yet little is actually known about how people experiencing homelessness move across space over time. This article explores this geography by comparing the mobility of those experiencing homelessness, those ‘at-risk’, and those renting privately in Australia, between waves in two Australian panel surveys: Journeys Home and the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA). Results suggest that while people experiencing homelessness are more likely to move than the other two groups, they more similarly short distances and appear more likely to move for reasons such as relationship breakdown, eviction and to escape violence. While some evidence of movement to areas with particular characteristics (sorting) was detected amongst those at-risk and those renting privately, this was not the case for those experiencing homelessness. Results do not support the contention that people experiencing homelessness gravitate to central urban areas well-resourced with homelessness services over time. The findings challenge assumptions about magnet effects and homelessness and have important implications for the provision and delivery of homelessness services in Australia and beyond.

Abstract Homelessness is increasingly being addressed with tiny house villages. These developments face barriers, the greatest of which is NIMBYism (Not-in-my-backyard sentiment) (Evans, 2021). Through a stakeholder survey, this research examines community perceptions of, and preferences for, various visual, physical, and social factors related to tiny house villages for the homeless. The survey finds that stakeholders do have distinct preferences for certain physical characteristics and traits related to tiny house villages for the homeless. The research suggests that taking such preferences into account may result in tiny house villages for the homeless that enjoy greater community support than those that do not.

Abstract The academic reflection on different manifestations of building emptiness is broad, intersecting the last sixty years of various debates on urban issues. Despite this, the conceptualisation of building emptiness and its nuances is not yet completely satisfactory. Definitions are blurred and different phenomena are often mixed. It is against this backdrop that, after a short state-of-the-art review, this paper proposes a precise conceptualisation of the main states of emptiness of housing assets. Four critical conditions are identified: i) uncompletedness, that is the condition of a building which, during the construction phase, is left unfinished; ii) long-term vacancy, that is the state of a property which remains on the real estate market for a prolonged period of time, for any reason other than the conventional circumstances of the ordinary life of a building; iii) under- and unoccupancy, which are conditions of finished properties that are not available for sale or rent and are either used occasionally (under-occupancy) or not put to any residential use (unoccupancy); iv) abandonment, that is the state of an empty building which has not been inhabited and maintained for a long time, thus being detached from the housing market due to its physical decay. Subsequently, the implications of such conceptualisation are stressed, with reference to both descriptive and normative issues. For instance, this conceptualisation could help a finer understanding of the negative externalities of different states of housing emptiness, as well as it could favour more careful ethical judgements.
