How do they expect places like London to function if normal people just physically can't afford to exist there?
Just a few families of bankers and crooks in the world are buying all the land all over the world. These families want to transform every single human being into a slave. People in Canada, Germany, England, the USA, etc., are being victims of this housing lucrative business. Privatization made rich people richer than governments because neoliberal governments are committees that manage the businesses of the rich.
Don't live in London...
There should be a cap on renting.
Rent controls are needed in the private sector.
No they are not
@@becomingdauntless8821 cos I’m a landlord I have a mortgage to pay. I own the house I can demand what I want. If I was selling a car I can demand how much I want if they don’t want to buy it that’s not my issue!
@@marklasy6209 A car is not a human being and human beings need an affordable home, the current salary does not keep up with inflation so surely some landlords will be shooting themselves in the foot when no one will no longer be able to afford the rents. Greed will only get people so far in the long run.
The solution would be do what Australia does. And raise rents only in line with inflation. Plus, stop speculative rent raises.
@@marklasy6209 heartless piece of shit. why are you sucking up all the housing and accruing stupid mortgages that someone else now has to pay because there's nowhere else to live?
Surely if rising rents is one of the problems, the government has a duty to do something about it!?
sorry but lol like they care
The issue is not enough people don't address this to thier MP's. Everyone wants the problem solved, but they want someone else to do it.
I am a landlord I have a mortgage to pay
Yeah they should build affordable housing also the government are the ones who cause house prices to rise which gives greedy landlords incentive to charge twice what a property is worth
many years ago the whole way of life was to go to work pay your rent, bills , buy food , look after your family, now with low wages and a very high cost of living, millions of people can't do this unless your borrowing money all the time
It's no accident either, eventually they government want no one to own their own homes so that they can control everything
This is very odd indeed, the BBC keeps telling us we have plenty of room for refugees, how is it possible we have run out of houses?
It's called 'cognitive dissonance' (theirs, not yours).
Nick Breen The problem is not a shortage of housing, as for example in Tokyo but THE PRICE of housing! Watch the video before you open your mouth
Lomas Wefing
A little lesson in economics..... product in short supply = high prices for said product.
Nick Breen Maybe rise tax rate and buying more shelter houses.
+Nick Breen Don't forget price speculation drives up prices for the benefit of market traders.
How can they not house a family with a new born baby that's a crime wtf is going on .. that wrong wrong wrong 😕
Maybe dont have room
@@FilmFan-iv7szThey can always find room for refugees and illegal migrants.
Got to look after the illegals and mass imports first.
I lived and worked in London in the late 80's, early 90's and had a good job, but most of my salary was just for housing...I found London dirty, dangerous, unfriendly and glad I left when I did. I would never go back there.
Should have brought a house moved in to London 80s brought a house for 89k now it's worth 470k and it's all paid off on a black cab income it's doanle to late now tho

That Council just broke the law, they must give temporary accommodation to a family with dependant children under the age of 16.
Exactly they didn’t say why they were not eligible for help
"diversity", "buzz", "dynamic", "vibrant"... when a politicians starts using these words you know they're BS'ing you.
Homelessness has always been a problem in this country right back to the Victorian times.
The housing crisis in the UK is probably the most serious domestic issue facing the nation. The right to buy policy was, I think, the primer for this crisis as the revenue from those sales was not reinvested in housing related projects. Unchecked immigration is also another factor (that was the working class catalyst for Brexit) and the economic system that pushes hosue prices beyond the reach of most people. As for ruthless private renters, I'm sure they sleep very well at night
this is one of the reasons I am saving up to move to France, I am British and I have truly come to hate and be ashamed of my own country
🇫🇷 Welcome ! 🇫🇷 I am so shocked and confused... I cannot understand how a country that used to be at the forefront of innovation, that invented the steam machine (James Watt), aviation (Wright Brothers) and built the first computer (Turing), and is one of the most advanced and wealthiest economy on earth cannot today even offer proper housing to its own people. What a shame ! Housing should be non-speculative ; to home owners : who cares if the value of your property increases or decreases, it is your home, you live inside, you are not going to leave anywhere soon anyway, right ? Anyway, I'm happy to live in France where working class people can still house themselves at decent prices, with reasonable tenant rights (you can only be evicted every 3 years except if you don't pay your rent ; and even in that case eviction is not that easy). I don't understand why British people don't rebel against that situation, it makes me really angry to see the testimonies of these poor people who cannot pay their rents despite having full time jobs.
It is because we have a corrupt, incompetent and out of touch government who inept at providing basic services to the population since 2010. Our politicians have been so obsessed with Brexit issues like this are no longer at the forefront.
Come to Australia plenty of poms here just no mention Thatcher
Thatcher caused this.
And Cameron and may and Johnson every Tory is to blame
No they are not, conservatives are better than labour
@@marklasy6209 no they’re not. i know Keir isn’t the best but i will still vote Labour
It a crimal offence to put family homeless against the law. That because of children is protection
A lot of people complaining about immigration, although it is a contributing factor I don't believe it is the main factor to this crisis, the main problem is with government policy for the last 15 years of uncapped rent in the London area, the gentrification of the working class in the inner city of London, Landlords who are unregulated, New Labour or the conservatives, two sides of the same coin, don't give a toss about the working class.
Very foreign sounding name
So let’s get this right your saying millions of people coming into OUR country doesn’t put a strain on our housing 😂😂😂 well you would say that wouldn’t you
I'm sorry Immingration does play a massive role in our housing!!! Don't get wrong I'm more than happy for people to come here work and pay there way but I'm talking about the one who come here just to claim benefits take out homes and have not payed 1p towards the govnment!! Now I also blame the government too as it seem to priorities Immingrants than its own people!! What about the guys and girls who fought for this country when they get back here they are ignored and left homeles and living in a tent as there own government has turned there back on them and used them and no longer wants there problems on there shoulders! ! My dad said to me charity starts at home first and I stick with that end of...
The right to buy along with lack of social housing plays a huge part
Whoever came up with the idea of gentrification I wanna punch them it's one of the worst things about my generation
BBC housing isn't just a problem in London, its everywhere across the UK. its even harder than this if you have a specific need (wheelchair access, ground floor for limited mobility ect) houses flats act are not just more expensive but also getting smaller so they can cram more in. its really important to have a home you can live in and yet so many are without that, reliant on generosity of friends or family.
I’m disabled and was homeless due to a life limiting illness I couldn’t work and left my dream job in nursing and spent over two years in emergency accommodation up flights of stairs because the council messed up and lost paperwork proving my disability they said I was not a priority and I then got legal help and got my priority changed and was moved into another temporary housing on ground floor but to get into the property there were a lot of steps and the property was not wheelchair accessible so I fell a lot and injured myself. I now have a home but it is riddled with damp and unsafe but it’s a roof over my head and I’m so so grateful. The emergency housing offered here in the uk is awful, budgets are wrongly spent and prioritised incorrectly leading to neglect of the homeless, some are in emergency accommodation for up to 10 years, including family, elderly, disabled, young teens... heartbreaking
So 5 years later on and things have got even worse but nobody is talking about like this anymore - the government are conditioning people that this is the new "normal". They are below contempt ..
And the BBC wants more immigrants coming here taking our housing...

Princesa Hermosa the third world should go back. Then we wouldn't have a housing shortage
With or without immigrants, you will be treated like garbage by the rich. What are you smoking?
@@johnjones3943 Governments blame their victims. The reason all this is happening is hidden. Just a few families of bankers and crooks in the world are buying all the land all over the world.

I dont think i can have children on 2019 its really hard
That's the point of all this plutocratic impoverishment of the peoples of the world. The very rich don't want us to have children. They want to reduce the population of the world.

have cats instead. Cats are great!! :)
Something similar happens here in Hawaii. Locals cannot afford housing because the prices keep going up, as more and more people move here from other parts of the world.
I am a father of four and homeless in America

Govt can send billions of foreign aid to other countries while its own country is living in poverity
exactly! what's up with that?
Wow I live in America and it’s the same here so sad.
Waiting lists are clogged by ppl merely claiming to be homeless because they want their own gaff. It's embarrassing still living at home when you're 37.
The woman at 2:22 where is the father?
Left
😢
Me and my friend have been given a month to vacate our property because our landlord is selling up, neither of us cant afford to get another place and to make matters worse no one wants to help! we have always paid our rent on time in the 5 years we have lived here both of us are hard working people and im reduced to having to live with my mum because the best the council can do he shove me in one of these homeless shelters, Im a full time worker who is now financially struggling to keep up with debts which i cant get out of and for the first time in my life has been thinking Suicidal thoughts, i think it is absolutely disgusting, insulting and inhumane im ashamed to be british, Our government need to be come down to our level and live in our shoes for a week and see how well they can live with the pain and poverty they have inflicted on their citizens.
Don’t give up. Presume your dreams no matter how the government rules. 😅
Sorry not presume pursue
This Government also needs to stop spending £30 million per day housing illegal migrants and use that money to build more social housing for indigenous people, not refugees.
How about address the problem of the greedy housing developers.
We're having that same problem in the US and I suspect it is befalling or will befall every country that tries to resurrect its budget using austerity practices. It's quite simple. If you assist the poor, they will spend that money on goods at the local store, which will help that business owner. Perhaps then, they will be able to expand the business and hire more employees or pay their own employees more money. Then, perhaps more people will be able to afford the rent. It would also help to either put controls on how high the rent can be or give people subsidies to pay their rent, the latter of which would again contribute to the economy. In any case, I suggest that everyone buy a tent when you can because you never know what life with throw you and a tent is at least a roof over your head.
Rent control and/or maximum rent paid out. Because if u have kids and work 16 hrs a week or more and earn under £16K the council will pay the rest of your rent, free school meals etc, (if u don't work u can 'only' get £26k total benefits ie inclusive of rent+job seekers allowance + Council tax but that =£35K after tax) which is how cleaners, mini cab drivers etc can b around 2 service the rich and work for crappy wages.... ie it is a subsidy 2 the rich + business who can keep wages low, plus rents and house prices extortionately high esp in London.
Banks are also to blame big time!
This is uk 😕 this is 3world kingdom something like congo
but they got better weather 😂
Prices of properties too high these days. They don't correspond with the average person's income. Hence, the rich become richer because they got lots of money to buy up all the properties and rent to the poor.
The film didn’t say why the last family were not eligible????
Here you have the bill selling properties to rich foreigners.
Working Poors !
456inthemix Lots of homeless here in New York city. They sleep beneath millionaire and billionaire condos (mostly empty condos for rich foreigners), or on the subway. FK the elites, sooner or later things are gonna get so bad that people are gonna ask for change.
Pushing locals out it London is disgusting and why would you send Londoners to other parts of the UK where they don't know anyone or family having to start again,other parts of the UK have thier own problems .
partly to blame is AirBB
ytYAEeLxmEYb : AirB&B is occupying normal rental properties....It is a big complaint of residents in Iceland...not being able to find housing!
Please and Thank-you
Your right I got kicked out my apartment now the landlord made it a Airbnb. It’s what’s the world has come to.
this is so sad .why can't the government help their own people first then refugees ???
because our politicians are morons
Dublin Ireland same
Still no different in 2020 high rent sweat shot wages
I knew a relative of mine who used to say if you worked you could afford to buy a house you could afford everything etc and he ripped into me for being on benefits lol funnily enough he lived at home with his mum in his mid 20s and I imagine still lives there to this day in his 30s, in my 20s I was working 6 days a week in a cafe despite suffering a depression, isolation and other crap in my life and I was pulling in £600 a month living in a 1 bedroom flat that was £650 a month rent and getting about £11 a week housing benefit and £300 DLA, my bf was working 2 jobs and it still wasn't enough the struggle was unreal even with turning off light switches, eating ASDA smart price food I barely had enough money to pay bills, buy Christmas presents for my family, to save anything for emergencies like my boyfriend's car breaking or anything like that was completely out of the question the problem is house prices will just rise and rise and the problem will get worse unless the government do something about it which they won't because they're too "strapped for cash" to build more social housing and thanks to gentrification and Air bnb things like low income housing are becoming a thing of the past because its the hot new trend when there are people that desperately need those homes to survive
The Government would not be so strapped for cash if it stopped spending huge sums of money on housing illegal migrants and giving money to Ukraine.
lot of homes in india
lol bro
sorry say that 45 million people in India can't able to 2 time a day
Very few toilets though !
Take the back and house them
The housing has already callapsed ♥️
My landlord is selling the house next year and me and my boyfriend have nowhere to go I'm beyond terrified and all the council have said is to rent privately which we can't do as I'm on benefits and my boyfriend is self employed our credit is also shit, the council have said its a 7 year wait no matter what even if we get on the list they keep saying rent privately you'll be waiting forever to be housed but that's just a temporary stop gap at best they need to build more social housing its ridiculous to tell people to carry on privately renting if they can't afford it and they don't have guarantors also at some point landlords want their properties back so people up homeless again regardless 🤷♀️
How did UK get to this level of poverty
House prices rise every single year, gentrification is getting bigger and bigger thanks to social media and all these idiots hipsters with trust funds jumping on the bandwagon, things like air bnb where people are renting out properties like hotels there's literally 3 properties in my area on air bnb one of them is a 2 bedroom flat the fkn landlord lives in the flat next door for Christ's sake, people who struggle mentally and physically are let down by the NHS who are underpaid and understaffed and so many resigned uncaring doctors for help and support so they struggle in themselves as people and to be functional to find well paid work where they have no experience, no qualifications etc they like me years ago take the jobs that were given to them but it's barely enough to get by, there are other issues as well like the benefits and system and stuff but basically things like rent and house prices will never stop going up unfortunately so poverty becomes more and more of a problem
It's disgusting that people are treated like this in 2023
Do the money addicted gentrifiers have a time frame for when rents will be ten to twenty grand a month?
some told me this don't have kids untill you have a house thats my 1982 rule . i got married 1990 got my house in 1996 / 1997 son was born he austic has his own bedroom and bathroom . the reason i do this i had fell on hard times . i was sick and tied living on the dole living in the hartly hotel and i was young and strong . 1983 pack up and left the country
Sad...starting to look like the US. :( At least you all have some semblance of a healthcare system. Conservatives here in the US are about to take 20 million off healthcare here; and have plans to give all the money we've entrusted to them during our working lives, that was earmarked towards healthcare in our elder years-to Wall Street banks. Because soon to be unregulated brokers can obviously handle the trillions the Govt was supposed to be protecting-better??
PS I'm SURE it has NOTHING to do with the hundreds of millions the bank's donated to Republican candidates this past cycle...after all, they campaigned AGAINST all the "pay to play" they accused Democrats of. Luckily, Trump is "draining the swamp"-he may be scraping the bottom for his advisors and lobbyists, but he skimmed the surface...ok, well, except for a FEW...OK, so maybe just HALF are lobbyists and politicians, but I'm SURE he'll fine "the best, the greatest people you've ever seen, you have no idea how great these people will be...believe me!!"
pints stoned miles inches
fits yup this is 3world
Yes of course less immigration would help, as many commenters are saying. But I think more important is getting government involvement out of the housing industry. Reduce or remove laws on planning permission which prevent developers from building new dwellings. With such restrictions on who can build what and where, it only makes sense for developers to build expensive properties to cater to the higher end of the market. If developers were able to build new flats and houses more easily they could cater to all people looking for homes. Also since government routinely subsidises poor people by helping them to pay for properties they can't afford, this removes the incentives for developers to build cheap housing - it means it makes much more sense business-wise to build expensive new properties because it doesn't matter if people can't afford them, government will just pay for it. Which of course puts a tax strain on everyone. As usual, government involvement fucks things up for everyone, especially the very people who are ostensibly being "helped". Free the markets, free the people.
if only people had a heart, to let them stay at their place and help them get back on their feet.....trouble is , they are afraid they will get robbed or assaulted.. There are millionares out there,. ffs,.
everybody work and produced for years, yet the prices keep skyrocketing. there was a time when people worked and produced so their lives become easier, not harder each day.
soon we will be all eradicated and only the elite will occupy the megalopolis around the world. one person will have several houses to rent to those who can barely afford one. actually this already happens but will become more and more evident.

this is not true govenrment say so
What did you think would happen when make debt nearly free?
Racists in the comments, this is your fault. Right-wing demagogues scapegoat the working classes & you vote for them for it. You'd trade everything for your ideology of hate.
The more you bring in the more homelessness it’s simple!
Well, it isn't really that simple.
Poverty is lucrative. Greed did this.
Lucy needs to get money from her kids' father!!!
Oh now they’re concerned that the “face of homelessness has changed”(???) so if it remained black and brown would it even be aired as a story??????
The housing crisis isn't new just exaserbated. I was in a hostel in 94 to 95 but tourism was the cause then. Now it is investment buyers. One home each should be the rule to truly level the playing field...if there are any spare after that let the rich rip each others throats out in a bidding war to own the leftovers for a change
The three political parties have deliberately suppressed the construction of housing in uk's cities if houses were allowed to expand upwards by two or three floors they still wouldn't be as high as the adjacent trees that are so sacred and the amount of homes in a city could potentially double. With increased supply making homes cheaper and the land they are built on more valuable.A win win result for homeowners and land owners.
Because they needed the votes of home owners.
"Homelessness" I was in the days when there wasn't all this ""apartments to let" 1973/4 and I had a job and if by chance there was something like a house or flat single male forget it- it's not like London as the BBC keep using as a example with mega foreigners and kids
London is an old, crumbling, claustrophobic city totally overrated.
London is a big city it copes .
kick the idlers out to the north east where housing is plentiful
I have a full time job and homeless in America with four kids
Alhagie Daffeh That sucks. I'm really sorry. I would give money to you, but I don't have much of my own lol
Alhagie Daffeh why did you have kids?
Alhagie Daffeh Is it because supporting 4 kids caused you not able to afford a suitable rent?
Because he had an uncontrollable biological desire to like most people?
Well, you have the open border floodgate policy of Europe to thank for the crisis. Demand is outstripping supply .
£5M a day for illegal immigrants in hotels. 4 uk homeless DIED in York this winter.

Give council houses to locals, not to migrants of any type. Locals first.
To journalist who attempted to interview Chinese candidate and was prevented. It is extremely rude and arrogant for you to violate China's internal affairs! I would do the same if you came to my US province and meddled in our local affairs. You needn't agree, but you must respect, for or against. When ordered to depart, you must depart!!!
William Comer Yep well said!
the girl with the 2 black kids...
build loads of social housing , BUT the trade off is to then educate everyone to have smaller families. have respect for each other , we all need space and we don't want the food supply to run short
The bird at 1:55 has that typical coalburner physique.

This is all thanks to 10 years of austerity

Exactly what I was thinking! I think people are afraid to look in different places to live and giving up their jobs. Being proactive gets you a long way I reckon
Nothing to do with millions of immigrants 😂😂😂 yeah sure
I was homeless while working no help what so ever by Warrington council all because I'm single.but manage to help myself.. salvation army are just a business to make profit
