We don’t have enough houses. We need to build more houses. Nothing else will suffice.
Huh, fancy that. It’s almost as if funneling alarming amounts of money into the private sector isn’t a replacement for solid, well coordinated government action.
Crazy idea here, maybe the government should be building houses?
go on
Use of the phrase ‘record investment’ is a red herring.
Poor strategy and policy in the past means we’re paying inflated prices and paying too many investment firms.
“Government states they intend to do nothing to ease the crisis for the next 2 years.”
Stupid cunts talk of a €5 billion surplus in the article, as if that can’t be used to Build. Fucking. Houses. Now. – as well as train people as necessary – all done directly by the government.
Arseholes still talking about ‘market incentives’ a decade into this crisis – when that’s a designed-to-fail policy all along – when the government needs to be directly building _enough_ housing.
The only way the housing crisis is going to be tackled, is if the population bring the government down – e.g. through mass strikes (using workplace [Rank and File Committee’s](https://www.wsws.org/en/special/pages/more-rank-and-file.html) instead of co-opted unions whose centralized management are easily corrupted).
