"It's clear this is unsustainable. We need the government to devolve rent control powers.
"They keep the city running and form a vital part of Bristol's culture and there's a real risk we could all lose out if nothing is done soon."Mr Rees said the country had a "crippling lack of social and affordable housing" "We understand the pressures people are facing with the cost of living, particularly the most vulnerable in society, which is why we're supporting them in the months ahead with a £37bn package of financial support."
