Any good resources or accounts of past housing struggles or attempts st socialization of housing? I’m not coming up with much when I search here.

Couple of good films, although '60s '70s stuff:

Behind the Rent Strike, about a Liverpool rent strike in the late '70s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0anu9hlQ9iA

And Not a Penny on the Rents, about a London-wide rent strike in the late '60s: https://vimeo.com/17521362

That has a ton of resources. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. Thanks for all the more historical suggestions everyone.
