Those NIMBYs denying they are NIMBYs was not fooling anyone 😂
Funny that he was not sure if he will allow council houses being built. A lot of individualistic mindsets preventing any progress in affordable housing.
Too many boomers moan about things but get in the way of change - they are NIMBY's despite their denials. I'm gen-x and I'm planning on downsizing next year to give my 2 grown up children a deposit for their own home from the equity - as the government is worse than useless. BUILD MORE SOCIAL HOUSING so people can afford to live!
I know right.
@@martinebon4333 Have you lived with council tennants around you? Get back to us when you do.
@@trildi yes, i know and have worked with people who live in council houses. They also work in the NHS like I do. I would have you know that they are decent hardworking individuals that unfortunately are being paid meager salaries hence they have no choice but live in council houses.
Lost the battle to build homes. Lost the battle to warm up the corpse of the NHS. But won the battle for tax cuts. You get the government you deserve.
NHS funding is at record highs and so are taxes
Taxes are also at record levels.
@@stumac869 it appears many people on here are literally just making ideas up and others are giving these made up facts likes. It's weird
not with FPTP. most people despise the tories but they usually win
Won the battle for tax cuts? I wish. The working class are being taxed to death which is part of why nobody can afford things.
What is affordable housing ? Does that statement make sense in 2024. Salaries are not increasing yet Inflation is so what’s affordable when salaries are not rising to accommodate cost of living? The problem is property builders are getting too greedy and government MPs are invested in it.
homes prices at 3.5 times median salary I would think. I say this as mortgages were priced at that level and the economy was generally in a decent state where people could invest etc etc
Salaries are increasing. They are outpacing inflation. Property builders stock prices have fallen.
Affordable house should be something around 90k for a terraced house and 60k for a 2bed flat
@@marcus.H You mean CPI right? CPI doesnt take in to account housing costs
@@marcus.H you chatting nonsense mortgages rate from 2021 to now have increase 20% I am a home owner . Salaries have not increase 20% im a public servant. See the problem is ppl like you come out with statement and have cooked stats and lie to the ppl. Ask any home owner if the few percentage increase they have cover the increase on their mortgages? No !! So imagine got those ppl who trying to get on the property ladder. We have too much greedy property builders that’s the issue.why should it cost 100k to build but you add 250k for a profit isn’t that greed.
"Affordable" means very expensive instead of very very expensive. It's a joke. We need to stop seeing housing as a cash-cow. Housing should ALWAYS be about providing secure, affordable homes for all. It's horrible when you hear people saying that they've bought a second, buy to let house "as my pension" . What about the lives of the occupants FFS....
This!! 🙌🏻✊🏻
This country is in an absolute mess!!!
Blame the politicians, you vote for them after all. Hold them to account. Decade after decade they get away with wars and wasting our money, but no one does a thing……sad, wake up people!
Crisis you created with greed
And selfishness. Homeowners don’t want other people to own homes.
With mass migration.
The leaders went on about building more houses, but no mention of doctors, schools, dentists, hospitals. Putting pressure on already struggling areas for these. 😢
It's ok, labour is just going to make them all work overtime - not like they aren't doing it already!
@@adam7802
If they reduced tax on overtime, people that want to earn more will work overtime.
Once you start going over tax thresholds because of overtime? The incentive to work more diminishes.
@@educational1651 Your not wrong, but these people like doctors and nurses for example are not getting paid for their overtime I'm pretty sure 😂
Our leaders talk a lot build nothing and open borders to floods of migrants
Take a look at the type of people opposing house building. These elderly people that are a bit removed from reality.
U mean ones who paid their mortgage off in their late 50s early 60s
They don't care about the future because they aren't going to be here. They just care about their own selfish little worlds and lives now, in the present.
The party can build all the houses it likes, the trouble is it HAS to be affordable, not £400k, first time buyers simply cannot afford that.
And its a rip off because it'll be a tiny rabbit hutch with 2 bedrooms that consist of an actual bedroom and a cupboard being classified as a bedroom.
The main problem is the financialization of housing.
Short term rentals,investor monopoly,speculators buying property and raising rents etc.
Also it's often assumed that because someone can't afford rents they must be of the criminal element-so homeowners reject the idea of having such people living near them.
The financialization of housing is VERY divisive as well as unfair,
Expecting the same NIMBYs, developers and politicians who happily oversaw the collapse of home ownership for the under-40s and watched their own house prices skyrocket to solve this problem is delusional.
Actual question here, why aren't there young people on these councils? Seems like the reason there are no voices for new home owners is because councils are filled with retirees?
@@mamaw4732 Apathy, money and time. Many young people are already priced out of these places; and even if they’re not, cannot afford to take a formally unpaid position on top of their existing work. Councillors are paid expenses, but not a formal salary.
@glassmuxxic thank you for the answer. Seems the developers would be better off paying for a campaign to elect younger councillors than the expenses of appealing the rulings all the time
The reason the property prices are high, is solely due to the banks, they decide what the property value is, as they are the ones who provide the mortgages, to protect their investment, it is in their interest to keep house prices high.
It's also about supply and demand. If there is a shortage of homes the prices goes up. Lots of vacate houses to rent the rental price goes down.
UK is a landlords paradise.
275,000 Air B n Bs
i wonder why?
Wrong, I would prefer tenants in my properties, but when things go bad I need the law on my side and it's not. So my properties will remain Airbnbs. Simple.
Lots of them are stuggling
@@Jonnyicey "struggling" haha, stfu. Maybe they should SELL then to people who need it.
@@xx-wp3mq I'm not defending them, just saying the market 4 years ago was good now it's saturated and many of them can't even get them occupied for the 105 days they need to get the tax benefits. So it's not a paradise for air bnbs.
"I'm not a NIMBY" - NIMBY
Literally blocking development on their backyards. Do these people not speak English or something? Nobody will remember these folks outside of this video...what a legacy.
That's probably her massive kitchen they are sitting in too.
That woman who was like, "I've lived here 40 years and I don't want to see..."... She's just purely selfish. People need homes. Why should her personal feelings prevent hundreds of people getting affordable homes?
Because she is fascist. She doesn't like people in general. Very English though...
Seriously. They have rights over the land that they own, but why should they have a say if there are homes built on land that they don't own? I know that obviously they are part of the community, and so their voices should be taken into consideration, but if their own desires prevent someone else from being able to have a home, then their opinions should be given less importance.
If they were honest, what they are really afraid of is BROWN people being put in these new homes!
That's a funny attitude she has to have in a very overpopulated Country. We would all love to have loads of space but sadly every patch of green area will be built over if not today then tomorrow.
Why destroy beautiful natural landscapes, when you have abandoned town centres, brown fields and car parks to build over?
Build more affordable council houses for families that eventually families can buy . 375,000 for a family is unaffordable. It is to little to late
100k for a 2-bed semi in Somerset?
"Within 5 miles of Somerset" on Rightmove includes large parts of South Wales - lol
I think that’s the slow realisation I’m noticing we’ve left it too late now that people will have to move into new areas that are cheaper.
Council flats are sold leashold. The whole things a scam..
Thatcher and her crazy idea of being able to buy your council property was the start of this housing crisis, selling off housing stock created homelessness , if you can afford to buy a home move out of social housing and let someone less fortunate
So No to selling Council Homes
House prices are high because of a lack of supply, simply not building enough homes to meet demand. Rents are high because house prices are high, the two go together.
Government policy is making things worse by boosting demand even more, rather than encouraging supply. High net migration is boosting population growth at an unprecedented pace. Help to buy just boosts demand, supporting high prices. A radical change of policy is needed to reverse these trends.
We absolutely do not need more houses. We need significantly fewer people.
No, it's becasue of excessive demand you plank
@@andromeda_25 If immigration stopped tomorrow we STILL don't build enough housing to meet demand of the population.
@@ianc7866 You've literally just said the same thing with different words. More demand than supply = prices go up.
@@adam7802 it's a demand issue, ot a supply issue. As had been observed for decades.
We have a housing crisis partly because of the huge numbers of people flooding into our country in recent years, something ITV supports. It will bet worse under Labour.
You build more houses, they'll eventually all be bought by landlords in 30-40 years. New houses only solve the problem until those first people who bought it sell up, then what? You've potentially alleviated the rental market prices by a little bit long term. Also I'm not saying Landlords are the only the factor, there's a few other major ones as well (immigration, salary stagnation, stealth taxes, student loan debt, inflation etc).
We have lots and lots of brownfield land, now that we are a post-industrial nation, so why try and concrete over greenfield land or farmland which could be used for agriculture? The low rental cost 'council houses' which the government released under 'right to buy' legislation decades ago was supposed to have the money reinvested into further affordable rental housing stock - so where is all that new rental housing..... not built.
The idea of stopping evictions and bringing in rent control is going to do *exactly* what it has done *everywhere* else that this has been done, which is to drive small private landlords - thats right the affordable ones - to pull out of the rental market and sell up to private ownership or large corporate........ and then you have less rental supply and higher demand and it doesnt take a genius to know what happens to prices under the law of low supply and high demand.
However, our politicians are *not* genius but just vapid vote chasers who care no further than the next election cycle.... so watch this space as everything gets worse!
It's more expensive to build on brownfield sites so developers make less profit hence the reluctance.
I should imagine the cost to clear the land cuts into profits.
I hate that they use "average" salary.
Use the mode salary.
Most in full time work earn under 25k
Make that 20k after tax.
It's about £1600 a month.
That's pants
I like the median
nearer to 1800 actually after personal allowance but I get your point
@@northwestcoast median is the middle number.
Don't forget you have to include millionaires and billionaires.
The median would be hundreds of thousands.
Homes under the hammer is to blame ! The programme shows greedy buggers who buy and then rent out to buy another house to rent out and the story carries on people should be allowed to own one house any other gets hot by higher taxes and treble council tax
Haha don't be ridiculous
This is exactly what’s happening. Higher landlord expenses mean higher rents! Same with grocery bills
@@rgyhad484 why should people be allowed to own numerous houses when people can’t get houses even though the May have saved for a deposit but businesses and greedy landlords making excess amounts of money from high rents keep gazumping young couples
@@derekmain9914 if there were no private landlords the UK would be in a terrible place
You're seriously blaming a TV show for this mess? OK! 🤔🤦🏻♀🤣
This is a very expensive part of the country - a couple paying higher income tax would struggle here. The woman with baby needs to move location as she is priced out. Labour and or new houses isn’t going to solve her income problem.
Just how do you imagine that would work? Every store in town would be unmanned because no one on such a salary can afford to live there? people need to be able to live where the work is, _obviously_
That’s the truth and well said. I had to the same it wasn’t easy then and won’t be easy in the future. But if doesn’t move now then those cheap area will become expensive 😅
And yet people are not protesting in the streets, they're typing aggressive messages out on social media and moaning about it.
Join a trade union, join a tenants' union, join any organised collective group and fight for the change you want and be prepared for the long haul with lots of losses. That's the reality.
Politicians won't listen! They go with approved program from Washington and no. 1 agenda is Ukraine and her beggars.
No point building new homes no one can afford. Capitalism.
700,000+ net new arrivals in a year and a 'target' of 300,000 new houses.
The crisis will ONLY get WORSE until demand is addressed by drastically reducing inward migration for a period and catching up.
No mention of hospitals/schooling/all other servies either.
Why 1700 homes!!!! I don’t live near, but i can imagine going from beautiful landscape to 1700 homes would be a huge shock. Builder is being too greedy, lets go for 500, that’s a huge uplift from the 37 currently being achieved. The drain and demand on the in place public services will be huge schools, DR etc….what have the builders planned for that, diddley squat that’s what.
Or an alternative view... 1700 is nowhere near enough for the demand, should be 5,000
It’s never going to be affordable- it will be the same price and the developers are just messing with the area
Why not fix the neighborhood that has abandoned homes and make those affordable
I agree not in their backyard
Just build more local authority houses . Plenty of sites available , disused military bases that are standing empty and overgrown !! A lot of people just can t afford private rentals, especially with a family .. This country needs to get its act together big time and make affordable housing main priority !
Solution:
1. Ban companies and high networth individuals investing in properties.
2. A person cannot hold more than 1 house in his name.
3. Landlords who already own more than 1 home should sell the rest.
4. In a household you can not own more than 2 homes.
5. You should be minimum 18 to register a house in your name.
Time period : 2 years.
I'm not a NIMBY, the country needs housing, but this is the wrong kind of housing. We need council houses.
So if they built 1700 council houses you'd be OK with that?
Well.........
I am not a nimby. I just want no house building in my backyard.
In Scotland they have no fault evictions and rent control and highest rent increases in UK.
Another video with poor/struggling couple who decide to have a baby still.
and blaming others for their bad decision
2 babies, madness
I think for some people they think having a baby is going to lead to other good things. Like a new beginning. Like when people have another baby to save a marriage. Completely irrational, but that's humans for you.
Maybe if new homes were half decent we’d be more accepting of them. Look at Poundbury, this should be the example not the exception.
Poor parents, have to put up with two adults who decided to bring children they can’t afford.
Those grandparents may have been like a lot of others that put non-stop pressure on their children to provide them with grandchildren.
Just like here in Salem, Oregon. Rent is so incredibly high that there is no way to live alone unless you make $40 plus an hour working over 50 hours a week, or you come from a very well off family and they pay for everyrhing.
The USA is vast. It’s not the same problem.
@@kirishima638 I'm not speaking of the USA as a whole. Watching their story is exactly what is happening in my hometown. Hence why I mentioned a specific city...
This is all the government's fault. You taxed the landlords out of the market, now there is no supply, so the cost has gone up and to add insult to injury, you've raised interest rates 10 fold.
The politics of envy and greed took over, and I always said that this will bite everyone in the backside.
Because people who invest in British properties own more than one property, as long as heavy taxes are imposed on such people, property sellers will sell properties and the market will increase supply.
The nice private landlords are all selling up...
Labour have the same 'Narcissist Envy' issues as you...and wish to bring down successful constructive people, to reward unconstructive people...whose characters haven't progressed beyond childish envy.
Rent will now be in the hands of corporations...ie the people with zero Empathy for customers, who are already shafting renters.
Enjoy the karma of the Hate...and bigoted generalisation of others.
If you live with parents and work you can save?
agreed. no rent to pay!
Not everybody lives at home for free. If the parents are struggling also, I imagine they'd require a financial contribution. Most likely less than current rent would be, but highly unlikely for free.
@@fireat40 I live with parents and pay rent. Don't presume people who live at home don't pay rent. You get me?
@@daniel_913 that's too bad then.
What the f*** is an 'affordable' home in their terms anyway?!....
Guys also apparently there has been a fire in the just built houses in Hounslow high street but there was no one living there and no injuries were caused (i think)
We need pod houses
Building houses in a housing crisis? Shocking!!
The problem the NIMBYs have, at least the reasonable ones, is that developers build cheap, ugly communities lacking practicality and put foreseeable strain on existing infrastructure. Why is beautification so hard? Why is building supportive infrastructure for density impossible?
People are rightfully worried that they will lose things about their communities that they cherish. We should be building positively and enhancing our communities, not building reactively and without care.
Builders bring to the market what the consumers demand. Maybe people like it ugly 😅
@@bvanderford But they don't... people are desperate for housing so the cheapest designs and layouts to mass-produce is what gets made, and the smaller they make them, the more money they can make
@@bvanderford
There are some new builds not far from me, and the houses are dark grey with big lime coloured panels on them. Not visually appealing in the slightest.
Thousands of houses built in my area on farming land.still continuing.
All for more housing but need a cut off point.
Also people need open spaces and houses that are adaptable.
There are so many vacant buildings that can be repurposed for tenant occupancy. These can be used for the many single men and women who are living on the street as rent has skyrocketed and they are unable to pay with their meager salaries. Maybe incentives to those building owners could entice them to do this venture. Also, there so many vacant lands that can be used for affordable social homes for the families who are working.
Councils should renovate empty properties going into disrepair not take more countryside!
Ban AirB&Bs. Introduce rent controls. Build more housing, including high density tower blocks. Overrule local NIMBY opposition from home owners who were happy to pull up the ladder behind them.
Ban Airbnbs? Like that's ever going to happen 😂
Rent controls damaged market in my area, drove up prices. It sounds good but isn’t in reality. You need to tax landlords, regulate quality and discourage rentals instead
First of all stop sending money to Ukraine and send them back where they belong to ! 😉
and how many of these houses are actually going to go to English people that deserve to have a home in there own country and not going to some migrant from the other side of the world who as no right being here?
This is why I'm against the social housing proposals.
They don't go to the working poor, it goes to those who don't work or just arrived.
I'm stuck renting but how awful would it be to find the house and area you spent a lot of money on one day becoming a dumping ground for undesirables.
Or becoming a place where you feel like a foreigner in your own country.
They should start smaller. 1700 units is huge. I’m sure that would scare any neighbors. Start out building 200 units, half of them affordable.
One of my old landlords had in excess of 60 residential properties. There should be a limit.
I live in ex MOD army family housing, we still rent off the MOD through a local estate agency. Many houses are empty, they haven’t put them back up to let. Word on the street is they are planning on housing migrants, lots of them have been filled with furniture, gardens done up, new appliances in the kitchen. These are affordable rentals for families, 3 bedroom and gardens. Children’s parks near by, churches, and bus access to local towns. The army sold the land off to development when the army left to build a new village on the empty land, all makes sense and then they do this… is a newly established village full of families renting and buying 😳
Instead of going off rumours why don't you query it with your local council?
Does the council have to give you that information?
I had 2 properties rented out to long term tenants. The laws are that tough for landlords now that when 1 tenant stop paying rent and i couldn't get them out and the other moved out leaving a trashed home, costing me over £10,000 in losses and refurbishment i decided to go Airbnb instead. As a single mum I worked extremely hard long hours to buy my properties as an investment for my children when I'm gone. This housing crisis is caused by the government taking away landlords rights to reclaim their own homes. Banning section 21 will make it worse.
It's a growing problem not getting better same with social Housing the country is collapsing
I know this in the UK, but Australia is not too different. How did it get this bad?
Too many people on the planet and greed.
Blackrock is running things now. Shortage of houses means greater rental profit. Everything is going to plan.
Just checked on Zoopla, you can get a decent 2 bed in Frome, Somerset for £850
That opening clip was not a very good idea if one is trying to push building more houses. ie featuring a couple who have had a child and then a 2nd child prior to getting themselves sorted with a house. More to the point would have been a single person or couple without any children or other evidence of bad personal financial planning and saying what their situation is (ie people who help themselves by planning to the best of their ability). Though we also have more and more people piling into our overcrowded country and many of them are coming regardless of whether we want them or no (ie the illegal immigrants) and they then expect housing too.
We need to stop rich investors hoovering up all the properties, especially foreign investors. Foreign ownership has increased by 180% over the last decade. Wealthy overseas investors see our housing as a haven for their investments.
Sad reality!
I think affordable can mean 20% lower rent than private renting, or 20% cheaper to buy. So a 2 bed terraced here that rents for £1,000 a month would then be £800 a month, still very expensive for most people. Buying a £300,000 semi would be £240,000, if my maths hasn’t failed me, it often does 😂
Nobody want homes built in our countryside
Why can’t rich politicians and their corporate buddies help out by forking out
He's in construction and can't afford to rent that's awful. 😔
One of the reasons its shocking news, all these houses are old and in most cases old as the hills, and yet people want rent that suggests the houses are new and cost a bloody fortune to build. Its the same news all over the world rents gone through the roof and loads of people are homeless, so powerful people around the world that have resently become billionaires could be the very people we're renting off, the real estate business boomed right before all these people suddenly became rich but of course they said they got rich on the internet but where did the money really come from??? And why would rich people want to be that rich and have so many homeless, war could be one so all the homeless think "well at least I'll have a bed and meal??? I dont think Im wrong!! Their going to kill us all again!!
I'm paying 1129 for 600sq feet in Canada. I don't even have a bedroom. A whole house for 1200. I'd jump for it.
Uk hasn’t had wage growth so houses cost 3-12x salaries. Parents bought house 30yrs ago, it was 4x avg salary, now it’s 12x avg salary. Achieved a 4% compound growth.
Everyone thinks they aren't a NIMBY until it is their neighbourhood being looked at for social housing. Having seen what social housing developments can become, as a social worker, I can truthfully say I wouldn't want one in my backyard.
People are quick to point out what social housing estates can become, but are ignorant to the New-money drug dealers that are living in ever increasing numbers in affluent areas, rubbing shoulders with them.
Awesome 🎉❤
Trouble is everyone has self interests in building or not building social developments. That old chap nearly crapped himself when asked would you prefer if they were all social housing 😂😂
So if there is housing available, such as the ones shown on the lady's phone, but it is unaffordable, why not ensure the price is brought down to make the available housing affordable instead of building more unaffordable homes. Then if more is still needed build, but ensure the new build is used for affordable housing rather than property investment?
its all very well building new council/social housing but they are not vetting the tenants,there are a lot of new social housing about a mile from where i live.been up a couple of years and you should see the state of them already.rubbish outside the doors and gardens like pig middens.some people dont deserve a home.
My search on Right Move shows £700 rent for a 2 bedroom within 5 miles of Somerset.
£100k to buy a two bedroom semi detached home.
A sales assistant in Waitrose in Somerset makes about £12/hr. £1920/mo.
Plus £2160/mo for a labourer.
Take home after taxes is about £3500/mo and all four are getting free healthcare.
Within a year or two of living rent free they should have saved enough to buy and the mortgage would be about £500/mo.
Either they don't know how to do arithmetic or there are too many vacations in Magaluf.
Might I suggest the 5.6 weeks mandatory paid vacation could be part of the problem?
And shouldn't they have figured out how to look after themselves before they bring two children into the world?
Finally some logic
People won't accept it's their poor life choices that leads them to where they are now.
@@Kyphra Yep. Always got to be someone else's fault or a label to explain it. While the government has fucked this country, people are to blame for most situations
Doesn’t excuse the place for not letting them build
@@Matthew-nc9vm Oh yeah, I agree. The government has fucked up, things are more expensive however I live just fine because I decide to work FT and not have kids until I finally purchased this house.
The world economic forum told you, "by 2030 you will own nothing". How u liking it so far?
Not sure why public consultations are not suspended given housing emergency. Or how about taxing more those who oppose housing in their community. Politician really dont wabt to do anything. Given what happened during covid when people were literally locked in their homes for their own good - the government has enormous power to solve the housing problem.
"I'm broke but l keep having kids. Why am l broke?" 😐
they were probably hoping to get more ££ child benefits and tax credits
Some people love to open their legs without engaging their brain
@@fireat40 Yep. Sad.
Even worse you have to bid. Why
It's not that bad.People don't live in a shacks like in Africa yet.
You know the situation of our government is bad when the 5 main issues that need to be focused on, at least 2 or 3 of those are expected to be fixed.
You expect the to be some sacrifices like maybe sacrifice 2 of the 5 problems so at least 3 of the problems are being greatly improved.
But our government can’t seem to fix a single problem.
it doesn’t take rocket science that over populated. this island has 70 million humans..10 million would be the right amount this island needs.also people think they have a right to a house. without sacrifice. also don’t have children if you can not afford to rent or buy a house
you can not afford to rent or buy a house

That old man rejected his own idea
Plenty of people on the staycation market though, go on any holiday website and type in your local postcode. The hotels don't even go head and shoulders w the amount of holiday let second houses and rarely used cottages!
Someone has to be paying the bills on these potential homes, and they definitely able to live wo these properties.
Correct. Having Airbnbs is legally safer than having tenants from a landlords point of view. Mine are empty all winter because they make their yearly rent in spring and summer.
Definitely NIMBYs alright for them in there BIG HOUSE
700 k immigration no chance
HI, ALL, (. JUST COME INTO THE UK IN A RUBBER BOAT, AND GO TO THE TOP OF THE HOUSING LIST ) REMEMBER THIS GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN IN FOR 14, YEAR'S, ???????????
And there it is, they have won at deflection your attention to a problem they have created and crafted to make worse because while you are moaning about the boats and hotels (that they are making a killing from with contracts), you have a scapegoat and they have no incentive to process claims because .....what else will they be able to point at? Then they promise to stop the boats, you despise the scapegoats more, they don't eliminate their cash cow and you get madder. Rinse and repeat.
Should have worked harder in school or thought more about their earning potentials when the couple were younger or in school. Their school mates now look at them and think that's what happens when you're not ambitious
Vote Reform 🇬🇧
Why? There reject Tory w⚓s who don't have a clue about housing issue or anything except triggering your hate for their benefit.
More people here than ever before, farm land being sold off and built on. So more people, less food. How's that sustainable??
We need a few million to leave. Forget house building.
In 2020, the UK imported 46% of the food it consumed.
I guess we’ll have to import more, like we do with people.
Those that leave, are unfortunately the young generation, they had enough and saw better living elsewhere. If I was young again, why would I stay?.taxes,housing, working to bearly make enough money?..and capitalist government most of the MPs have vested interests.
@@adriandarke5393i mean it is no better anywhere else really. just more or less of the same.
Im in agreement with those local people, we do want housing but I don’t want the countryside and landscape destroyed just so people can a multi storey new build that eventually go on to mistreat, run it down and complain about
And things are about to get a lot worse with Labour
Indeed.
'Woke' Covert Narcissists will soon be expressing their 'Narcissist Envy' towards constructive elements of society, while dehumanising them with Genocide-mirroring Slogans ("Privilege!" "Nazi" etc) .
They will reward destructive cultures/people, by stealing from constructive cultures/people.
It's what Labour do.
IMHO, in just a week's time, things are going to change for those in housing insecurity, i.e.,millions of young people and the vulnerable. HAVE FAITH ❤.
Oh yes. Labour will magically solve the housing crisis while still allowing 400,000 net immigration. I can’t wait to see how they’re going to do that.
In 30 years our population will be at least 10 million higher. 10 million 😀
They voted Brexit and Torries
"average Rent is 1500 pcm, over 50% of the average salary"
1500 x 12 = 18K x 2 = 36,000 (estimated average salary)
£36,000 - 31% tax = £24,840 - 18K rent = £6840
£6840 / 12 = £570 pcm
£570pcm to pay council Tax, gas, electric, water, wifi, TV tax.
Ffff all for food. Thanks government. Thanks for keeping us poor and controlled.
just make it law infrastructure n min social housing 1st n fine n jail for failing. then people might be ok.
If we had only had secure borders, our population would be in decline and we’d all have affordable housing. This is the elephant in the room…
We've just got a section 21, nice one Tories.
That field they want to build on is surrounded by green fields. People are so insular. I agree they should be social and affordable, bit being a NIMBY makes everything unaffordable. Don't understand these peoples logic at all.
You can thank Liz Truss for that 👍
There is no housing crisis. Fewer people would correct this.
There IS a housing crisis. Prior to Thatcher we were building over 300,000 homes a year about half of them for social and affordable rent, since she came to power we’ve barely built 200,000 a year and barely a tenth of them social and affordable housing.

Birth rate is 1.6. So our population should be going down, but we have record levels of newcomers.
OP is correct.

Reform getting it right yet again
Big on promises little on detail that's reform.
Reform haven't got a clue about housing, they just use it as trigger for you to hate immigrants even more, the same National Front tactics NFarage has always aspired to.
Every home should be 3 bedrooms if you have 2 children of the opposite sex after a certain age they cannot share a room
Its as if our population is out of control isnt it?
It's as if lots of rich investors are hoovering up a lot of the properties isn't it? Jeremy Hunt alone owns 7 flats in Southampton.
Maybe it's both. 😒
Yep but just keep bring those people here. Get real Britain get real we are full up.
