> but Khan will concede in a speech… that London is still at risk of being a “playground for the rich”
At risk?
It’s been that way for years.
What’s the definition of affordable here? Where I live it just means part rent, part buy which isn’t really a long term solution to spiralling house prices.
Why does this keep getting posted? Are there some pro Khan bots set up or something.
Posted, including here, in four different channels in the last hour. Looking at the posting history very much Pro Khan and Labour. No negative posts or commentary about either that I’ve seen.
Also keen to highlight the failings of the Conservative Party, to be fair that’s an open goal these days. No bad thing either, they need to be held accountable and some of the behaviour is egregious.
I pay closer to 1k for my ‘affordable’ housing, of which nothing works throughout the apartment. Guy is an idiot if he thinks it’s helping people
Credit to London but it’s a joke that they operate under different rules to the rest of the UK. London are able to retain Right to Buy receipts for longer and use more of them than the rest of the UK. These rules should apply to everywhere in the UK.
>Surpassing of affordable housing target in London
Do you reckon their goal was like 3 units or something?
What do they mean by ‘affordable’ these days? Maybe affordable to you Khan, but certainly not for the majority of us
Average UK salary- give or take £33k, average uk house price- give or take £288k. You can’t square these numbers up against each other, nobody on that salary can dream of buying houses in that price range.
I know this might appear like a simplification, yes there are cheaper houses/flats, but the average salary figure above includes all the high earners- if you look at median salaries its worse than the above illustration.
Reality is (something SOME PEOPLE have zero grasp of) that theres two to three generations of people now who are saddled with debts for trying to get the best education they could only to find the working conditions in the UK dont exist to support enough people to the point where they can pay their debts AND buy a house (or even rent ffs).
Cheers Tories, you’ve been working hard for decades to fuck shit up for everyone but yourselves.
Go and get a proper job, one youre capable of, like picking fruit and veg you nobends
