Jiní popisují důsledky v podobě nedostupnosti a zhoršení kvality bydlení (Ivanička a Ivanička, 2007;Pixová, 2020), vzniku mocenských struktur založených na politickém podnikání na pomezí legality (Klíma, 2015) nebo rozmach obchodu s chudobou (Kupka et al, 2021).

“…Konkrétně reagují na proměny města v důsledku urbánní neoliberalizace a na vznik nových nerovností ve městě (Jacobsson, 2015b;Petrović a Backović, 2020;Pixová a Sládek, 2016;Polanska, 2010;Stanilov, 2007b). Vývoj demokratických institucí v SVE zaostával za tržními mechanismy, což vedlo k demokratickému deficitu na lokální úrovni, ztrátě vlivu samospráv na městský prostor, neomezené moci soukromého sektoru, korupci, propojení ekonomických a politických elit a omezení příležitostí pro aktivismus (Cook, 2010;Horák, 2007;Jacobsson, 2015a;Pixová, 2018Pixová, , 2020Sýkora a Bouzarovski, 2012;Temelová, 2009).

In this article, we analyse the conditions behind the formation of the tenant initiative Moje Písnice, which existed in Prague between 2016 and 2020. In the theoretical part, we explain the concepts of urban movements and tenant movements in Central and Eastern Europe and emphasise the role of everyday life and emotions in the genesis of a collective actor. We use qualitative methodology based on an analysis of 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews with members and one supporter of the Moje Pisnice Initiative. This initiative provides an illustration of the formation of collective actors in the urban space in Central and Eastern Europe. We focus specifically on the historical and social conditions behind the initiative's development and the emergence of a shared identity and shared housing expectations and the disappointment resulting from unfulfilled hopes. Other important factors that we discuss are the intersubjectivity of emotions and the emancipatory potential of the initiative's organisational structure, which enabled the participation of people with no prior experience with activism. We also focus on the public's sense of disillusionment with civic engagement and with the political system in general since 1989. This research contributes to the study of tenant movements in postsocialist countries, which are often an overlooked actor in one of the most important processes in the post-1989 transformation -privatisation. In contrast to previous research, we focus on the role of shared emotions and the subjective experience of historical processes.

In post-communist countries, the early years of housing policy after 1989 were characterised by the withdrawal of the state. Municipalities played an important role in the housing privatisation process in the Czech Republic. Thirty years later, a global boom in housing prices occurred in major urban centres. Young people are facing the problem of decreasing housing affordability. The analyses of the programme statements of electoral parties and coalition agreements in selected regional centres reveals the issue’s increasing saliency as well as a change in the overall discourse of housing. Moreover, local path dependencies and ways of bridging ideological differences in a coalition are explained. Electoral programmes tend to focus on young families rather than young people in general. In the crisis of housing affordability, those groups that have something to offer cities are preferred in party programme statements.
