Hyper-commodified housing products and the triple crisis: regulating the symptom or rethinking housing provision?
指出合租和短租这类超商品化住房产品表面回应了国家、市场和社会三重危机,实则反映了创业型治理、财产积累和住房去政治化的问题,并以卢森堡为例分析其矛盾。
This paper argues that the regulation of co-living and short-term rental accommodation – identified as ‘hyper-commodified housing products’ (HCHPs) – faces an important hurdle. The hyper-commodification of rental housing is at the surface level sold as a response to a triple crisis that bridges state, market and society: it favours talent attraction, increases profitability and eases access to affordable housing. At a deeper level, however, HCHPs are symptomatic of housing regimes combining entrepreneurial governance, accumulation through property and housing depoliticisation. Examining the Luxembourg context, we unravel the mutually exclusive outcomes promised by HCHP companies and discuss the points where regulation can intervene.
