Name: Merseyside Skeptics November Talk
Start: 2025-11-20T19:30:00.000Z
Location: The Casa

Housing has become a crunch point in politics: a key issue on the doorsteps and at ballot boxes, a key reason for communities being ripped apart and a key site of tension in ever polarising debates. Whilst the housing crisis is often framed as inherently complex, there are very simple - some cost-free - solutions which the government could adopt that would change the face of the housing crisis overnight, improving millions of people's lives and achieving their main goal of boosting the economy. Yet, these common-sense policies are continually lambasted as 'radical' and/or framed as folk-devils to be buried out of sight and mind. In this talk Abi will explore why very mainstream solutions to the housing crisis are continually dismissed and explore a very possible alternative future in which houses are homes, not vehicles for profit.

The housing crisis is not inevitable: An alternative future

The Casa

Join us for good times and good conversation at Dr Duncan's in Liverpool City Centre. Don't be shy, come along and say hello! We're very friendly to people coming alone!

**COVID SAFETY NOTE:**
We're looking forward to seeing those of you who will join us for our social. Here are some things you could do to help look after yourself and our other attendees (if you like):

If you have access to a lateral flow test, why not take a test before you join us? If it's positive for COVID-19, please stay at home.

If you have new symptoms of COVID-19, even if a lateral flow test is negative - we'd prefer you stay at home. We'll have other social events in the future that you can join in when you're feeling better. (And remember that the symptoms of COVID-19 can look a lot like a standard cold!)

Please be respectful of other people's boundaries. Give each other plenty of space and be considerate. If you need to cough or sneeze, cough into your elbow or a tissue and throw the tissue away before sanitising your hands.

Whether you're a seasoned skeptic or just curious, our talks are not to be missed.

Each month we host an expert in their field who we think has a topic or story worth hearing about.

If you have any suggestions for future speakers, or particular topics that might be of interest, please email us (contact@merseysideskeptics.org.uk) or speak to one of our organisers at one of our talks or social events.

All our events are free to attend, however we do ask for donations after the talk. There is no obligation to donate, but we are a non-profit organisation, run exclusively by volunteers - donations are how we can continue to fund these talks and all our other events.
