Just wondering how many new builds end up on Airbnb?
That’s bc we’re housing people from elsewhere first unfortunately. There are now jobs dedicated to housing immigrants, meanwhile I know British born people who can’t get any help.
It’s only going to get worse.
‘The typical waiting period for a four-bed is 67 years’ and they wonder why families are leaving London…
They could always move, just like the rest of the population not able to afford to live where they want to live.
Unsurprising given unsustainable population growth.
Khanage
Or they could, you know, buy one themselves in an area they can afford. Like the rest of us?
Like the idea of you not talking like Russell brand
Simple solution.
Go to France.
Rock up.on a dinghy
Refuse to say where you are from and yet claim asylum. There are charities who will tell you exactly what to say.
Get a council house. Free. Free money to live.
Most people can’t even get on the list.
No one is entitled to a council house in the on of the most expensive cites in the world.
Horrible. But nobody wants to look at what’s happening and why spaces are being taken from people in the queue
The local authorities need to build new homes. Just look at this massive decrease in building rates:
It’s more crazy that people rely and plan their lives to live in council houses.
This is utter bollocks. This is an upper limit of 25 years, most people will not wait anywhere near that long. The average wait for a one bed in central is 3 years, outer is 1.5. That is *average* so those with more urgent needs get housed quicker.
The real issue is the state of emergency housing for those that become homeless, especially the dire lack of it.
End right to buy in England like has been done in Scotland?
I get the idea that fundamentally paying a lot for a thing when you could probably house many families elsewhere seems dumb.
But I don’t get on board with people who say ‘we’re paying for this’ which is fundamentally misunderstanding benefits.
You’re actually paying for yourself, it’s the concept of a social contract – should circumstances befall you where you need such assistance, then you have paid into a system which entitles you to the same treatment.
Also you’re not paying for overpriced council homes per say, you’re paying for the gentrification and property speculation which parliament will never do anything about as it is has gross conflicts of interest since so many make money from property.
Poorer people building areas and being gradually phased out is the most classic act of exploitation.
Targeting anger at individuals is ultimately targeting yourself.
Though I know most people wont accept that, right up until they actually do need the help they once claimed to never need and they don’t understand why it’s so hard to get because they’re one of the good ones who ‘paid in all their lives’
Husband works in health care and to large degree works with at risk people. Many of these people are not at risk and are playing the game to the point they know exactly what situation to present in order to score more child care allowance, food allowance, bigger house with an extra bedroom and a garden? You got it and it’s fast tracked!
Boils my blood how many people playing the system for a free ride through life and then there are genuine people who need help and can’t get it for years.
