- Councils have been accused of pursuing a “scorched-earth strategy” as they slashed housebuilding targets in anticipation of a Labour government.

Research seen by The Times shows that local authorities have cut plans to build thousands of homes by taking advantage of Michael Gove’s planning changes. It creates a serious obstacle to Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to build 1.5 million homes within the first term of a Labour government.

This is a really interesting take on the housing market. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy or not?
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
It's true that many people underestimate the importance of advisers until their own feelings burn them out. A few summers ago, following an ongoing divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my company afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with outstanding qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k regardless of inflation.
That makes a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?
“Jessica Lee Horst” is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
And its called 'Hope Gardens'. Oh the irony.
Freeloaders coming over taking all the social housing.
No Hope
I hope they're somewhere better.
She’s spending £370 a week 😨 , my 3 bed temporary accommodation (flat) is £390 a week . This is a pisstake they’re charging her the full wack to live in a shipping container, I’m mortified this is getting reposted something needs to be done this is scandalous.
poor income. thats the reality. If you dont meet your "affordability" then you have no choice but to rent these places. Private landlords dont want "DSS" they want earned income only.
@@Professional_TH-cam_Commenteryes I am having this issues now ….. it’s hopeless
@@vXSlayerrXv Good luck, the search is tough. I found a place - currently renting from a relative who is a landlord whose really done me a solid by renting to me.

Didn’t even now this sort of thing was even in London
Poverty is everywhere in the world.

The poor need to leave London immediately to other areas. Once the London wealthy realise no one is doing the hard graft and servant roles, they will soon sort issues like these out.
They'll just import more, the govenment needs to fear the people once more.
It’s fine cause automation will take our place 😂
@@Seek-LightHow is self checkout working out for corporations?
There’s no work outside.
Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes.
Instead of creatong cheap flimsy temporary places as such, they could build permanent good durable homes.
It is bad asset management, poor planning, and clearly gross lack of general leadershyskills. Who is suffering as a result? Innocent people, vulnerable prople, the general public.
It is time to put credible leaders in charge, and get rid of incompetence.
We need to find some.
It's classism plain and simple. The wealthy running the country think poor people should just work harder or have the right friends. They are either willfully or ignorantly disconnected from reality. Selfish, greedy, classism is what it is
She doesn't even belong here.
Well done for shining a light on these terrible conditions. A home should be safe, secure and hazard free
Yeah feed and house the world and we'll all pay for it. Sounds like a great idea.

London is not affordable especially west and central. South is barely affordable to get a house at a reasonable price you have to think of moving out of London. Also having all these children with no secure place is a bad idea, I know people that just keep having children with hopes of getting a bigger council house. It's ridiculous. It's the children that suffer.
@@CCOMAT If everyone who cant afford london moves out of london then north wont be affordable no more either.
How on earth is this allowed?? This is so unsuitable

@@seansmith445 Yes I do, otherwise who are you going to vote for next time, the communist party? I mean nothing stopping you, they're all the same am I right? (Half kidding, obviously you're voting Tory lol)
My takeaway from watching the housing crisis in the UK, is that women should forget about having children, unless they are mega rich. Children should not have to go through this deprivation. It’s just the way life is now.
Anyone who wants children shouldn't live in London. You don't have to be "mega rich" to raise children in other areas of the UK.
Nobody should have more than 2 children in this overcrowded world.
Three children from 3 different fathers, probably.
Sorry..I wasn't aware that it was just women who have children? Surely there's a man involved too? In the 21st century are we still hearing women being blamed for having children as though they do this in a vacuum?
Or how about not being MARRIED first 🤷🏾♂️
Remember walking past this in 2020 and was so shocked that this was allowed. It was the heat of summer I never felt so sorry for those poor people living inside.
Having somewhere safe, clean and affordable to live is a basic human necessity. Most working class people can only dream of affordable housing in 2024. It has become a luxury pushed by the rich who see housing as investment opportunities, thus pushing the prices up further and further. While homes remain investment opportunities for the few, they will remain unaffordable for the many.
She is living in the most expensive area in the whole of the UK, that IS a luxury.
@@Bringon-dw8dx There are working class people struggling to pay basic bills in cheap areas too !
@@ynwa3476 that is true, however for those in very affluent areas (areas not even the middle class can afford to live) I have little sympathy. For the amount she pays she could move 45 mins away and live in an actual house.
@Bringon-dw8dx I agree, and actually, i don't care much for her situation. But the cost of basic living expenses in the UK is beyond crazy now ! Everything is just a rip off now, and housing costs are the worst I have ever seen when compared to income levels. I'm not a socialist , and I believe in hard work, but the system has become ridiculously expensive for average people.
@@ynwa3476 how much could the cost of living be remedied if you got rid of the RF?
These will be "unique stunning apartments" going for £2,000/week within next 20 years
It’s sad to see this lady living like this with her child. Although, the problem isn’t shipping containers, it’s badly designed shipping containers that aren’t maintained at all. Also, I noticed this lady lives in Ealing. House prices there have skyrocketed since gentrification, so it’s unrealistic for this lady to think she will find a house there, unless she’s prepared to move out of London to increase her options. So many Londoners, Londoners who were born in London and have lived in London all their life’s, have now left London because they can’t afford to live there. It’s not a choice that’s easy for anyone but the harsh reality that London is no longer for the working class.
Fr, I have a civil engineer master degree and I’ve seen properly built shipping container flats. Those are regulated and can be seen around the world.
Shipping containers are just a bad idea. I wonder if they stay warm in the winter…
Politicians still have a subsidised bar @ the House of Commons though? 😳
Colonizers
For those saying that this person isn’t homeless/doesn’t live in a slum so should ‘be thankful’, it’s really not a huge ask to have affordable and adequate housing in a city like London. Perhaps some of us should try living in that container and see if we’re ‘thankful’.
I feel like the words 'affordable' and 'London' just dont really go together though!😁
It is a huge ask though since the more affordable the housing in London the more people would want to live in London.
@@TheGirlInGlasses Call me crazy, but I don't think any city should be where only the rich can afford to live, and I think this causes massive problems in itself. Granted, London will always be more expensive than other parts of the UK regardless (it's a major city after all) and many will simply not need or want to live there. And yes, London has a lot of immigration (an issue within this in itself), but there are many people who unfortunately are being priced out of the places they grew up in too.
Where's her husband?
It is with uncontrolled and unlimited mass legal.and illegal immigration. London is 62% immigrant derived population mostly within two generations as in 1974 London was 97% white British with the main immigrants being Irish.

I think the UK may need to start a discussion on net zero immigration until all citizens have a home. That's the model Australia is facing.
Yes, but they don't want that because they'll lose their power / control over people.

To get the mold gone for good, she needs to run a dehumidifier after a clean. It's only growing because of the moisture.
This is awful regardless of what choices or decision’s she made what has happened to this world ? Have we lost compassion how have we become so numb and cold to each other . This is scary that those who are in need are being rounded up in camps and this is only the beginning there is a chance that even those who are working and middle class will forced out this way to live in London will soon be only for the rich and camps sites for the poor. Take not now
Yes they have no compassion because they are souless.
Conditions are terrible yes, but they accidentally have shown one of the biggest problems with housing. The amount of immigrants coming to the uk and taking nearly all the social housing stock, especially in London.

On the other extreme, the super rich have over the top luxurious properties that they only live in for a few weeks a year. Can’t live in them all at the same time can they?
Why do people remain in London if they cannot afford a house? Are they not able to rent elsewhere in the country? Nobody should have to live in shipping containers.

Because they've fallen into the illusion, that life in London ( or the West, in general) is a utopia. While it's the exact opposite for the common man/woman.
Because television in foreign countries advertise London like it’s a European utopia paradise . Once they get here they get a rude awakening

Moving out of London was the best decision I made! I now have a gorgeous, modern one bed flat all to my self and the rent is less than I paid for one room in a house share in East London. Moving out of London is worth it 🙌
In the past decade the population of England has risen by 3.2m people.
How on earth will we ever build enough homes for everyone??
Too many immigrants. There are 4 million more people living in London than there was in the mid 1980's. We don't have a housing crisis we have an immigration crisis.
You are absolutely correct. America has the same problem. This has been brewing for decades. But the immigration discussion is met with deflection and venom; often displayed as bias and prejudice. Immigrants never understand the forced sacrifices natives make to accommodate them. Natives pay more for less. But that is ignored while natives watch the invasiveness and entitlement. It cause so many issues economically and socially. It's tragic. 🥺

@@phina8392💯
Immigration? Isn't the lack of social housing due to govt selling much of it off 40 years ago and not replacing those units? In the US most were sold or removed because conservatives didn't want to pay for it. Claimed "the market" would provide 😂😂 That was always nonsense. It's not lucrative enough for private industry. Obviously they'd rather build for high end buyers and renters.
@Moon133 This is not a new problem, we had a short period where housing improved, and it lasted about 30 years. Now we are reverting to how it used to be, private slum housing, overcrowded, rents high and high competition, erode council housing, restrict supply via regulation of building and lending.
What do you think people coped with before large scale new council housing post WWII? There was some council housing built after WWI, but quite limited before WWII got underway and loads of housing was flattened.
Why do you think villages like New Lanark. Bourneville and Port Sunlight were built by factory owners in the 19th century? Its because housing was so shockingly bad for their workers they decides to use company profits to make a better life for their workers. Then the welfare state was supposed to do that on a mass scale, and to some extent it has suceeded compared to pre WWII.
Have a look at Charles Booths Inquiry London 1886 to 1903 and the classifi ation of poverty. Watch a couple of episodes of Call The Midwife to see the story from workhouses and tenements to high rise flats.

Why is she trying to live in Ealing?
I left London because my teacher wages meant that I couldn't afford much space or saving. I couldn't get housing benefits to live in Ealing...
Properties in Ealing had an overall average price of £785,737.
London has and always will be for the rich and very rich, Poor people need to start moving out there is nothing for them there. I moved out and standard of living rose 5 fold.
That's probably where she could get help..
Stop looking to the government to pay your bills and give you a home. Pay your own way lady.

Well, who would have thought that multi year on year hyper immigration (and that's just the legal) much of it unskilled/dependent into a country with a completely unstructured economy regionally would lead to a housing shortage?
The answer isn't to build on every spare piece of London for example. It's to control immigration and to better balance the economy and opportunities so people don't all come and live in places like London and major cities. The current onslaught of people coming in isn't sustainable and is a really bad deal for the state. For example, why are we giving social housing out to foreign born people???? I think in London now nearly 50% of people in social housing are foreign. Madness... As a human being I feel sorry for this lady in the video, but why is she here in the UK, what does she do??? Where is the father???
We are at the dawn of an age where AI, Robotics and automation are converging which should make everything cheaper and more efficient, yet our governments are importing people like it's the industrial revolution because they think it will somehow increase the incredible punitive personal tax base and lower inflation (which it doesn't, it just lowers productivity). What are all the Deliveroo and Uber people going to be doing in a few years' time??? How much do they consume in state resources???? I haven't even touched on the social and cultural issues. The politicians and leaders have zero ideas.
London is over crowded maybe its actually better to move back to Africa?
It is, make sure to tell those white people in Africa to also pack their bags their also not welcome.
Alternatively, just move to Russia, referring to many African countries that are pro-Russia and anti-West..
People need to stop thinking housing is just given to them, it’s not a permanent fix. It should always be temporary whilst you get yourself back on your feet. Then move out to get your own property or private rent.
shelter is a basic human right, not a thing u "deserve or don't".
If you’re a kid growing up like this, how do you not start supporting your mum by becoming a dealer when you’re 12? Instead of giving lots of money to the police to catch “criminals”, maybe the government could give people proper homes so they don’t have to resort to crime…
Sad but true
I grew up in a post war prefab in the east end , we didn’t need to support anyone by drug dealing or any other crime .. this woman needs to stop moaning and toughen up and start getting on with her life for the sake of herself and her kids

Whilst I agree that people's life choices are partly to blame, there is no denying that the cost of living is out of control. Renting a 3 bed house in London is atleast £2500 pcm and that doesn't include bills, food etc etc. It's truly out of control . And that 2.5k will be a very basic house, likely to have issues with it.
Exactly, getting pregnant is not compulsory

This emergency accommodation might not have been too bad when it was first constructed and for maybe the first year or two.

Even “rough and ready” shipping container homes aren’t indestructible and they’ll have fixtures and fittings which need maintenance or replacement due to natural wear and tear. The other issue the mum mentions, ie the fact that her area is blighted by junkies and thieves, is just a symptom of the wider collapse of civic society and also inadequate policing.

Surprise surprise, London is too expensive with no affordable homes and the person here has made bad life decisions.
Who cares. London's awful. Wouldn't want to live there
She wants to stay in London like many immigrants. They want the best schools for their children at the cost of the family's survival.
Supply and demand issues, too many people demanding and can't supply, what's so surprising about that mad situation... Blame everything on the government policies

Someone house this poor woman in a nice area! I mean, that place is crime riddled!
Better than living in a mud shack though I guess?
Where you are living right! When are you moving?
@@aeiou9456 No I live in a lovely majority white suburb. You arnt on my level peasant. 😂
Building more houses? The Question is how many people do you want in this small island ?100/ 120/ 130 million. 8 million people in the Uk are already not in work and on benefits. Its up to the people not the Politicians to decide
My understanding was 5.6 million on benefits and 9 million economically inactive, of which I am one. I don't get any benefits and still pay some tax from investments.
But I agree with your first question, where do you put everyone? In the last two years we needed to build 3 cities the size of Liverpool to accommodate the increase in population. Plus the hospitals, schools etc that goes with the housing.
@@hilarygibson3150 Thanks for your reply Hilary. My source was a charity speaker who quoted that figure publically when addressing a welfare benefits adjustment/ cut back by the Government earlier this year. It resonated with me as I was appalled at the figure quoted as it represents circa 11% of the population we have. He may have been exaggerating and as I have accepted this information vicariously, therefore I would not offer a rebuttal to your figures.
It distresses me enormously that so many question's like the aforementioned one I posed on population numbers, are not voiced by the Parlimentarians and the media.
What do Parlimentarians debate in Parliment, certainly not reviving the economy or creating meaningful jobs. Britain is in the cycle of decay this, because of past incompetent Politicians of both the main parties.
They allowed " market forces" to guide the reigns of power or they were to concerned with meddling in the social order or being impotent to destructive militancy. Durative seeds were not shown for the future by lack of wisdom in appreciating the rules of change. 1) Decay follows growth and 2) you are the either the master of change or the victim of change. Britain is being left behind because of this. We now have a incestuous economy services, house building, house sales. All this is dependant on the disposable income of the workers and what few producers we have left.
I will not burden you further with my frustrations Hilary. I will close by offering my condolence for your presently being economically inactive and sincerely hope you find a situation that is worthy of your skills.
It’s immigration 🛂 more foreigners more national insurance/voters I’m born and bred in this country can’t get a council house for anything I’ve always worked! Even when I’m out of work the benefits system doesn’t work for me it actually has put me in debt 💸 so that service is dead to me… designed for people with no work ethic
3 million are disabled or sick of that number.8 million people are in part time work, collecting more tax credits than those genuinely sick. There's currently 1.4 million healthy people unemployed.
900,000 thousand jobs currently available, most not full time.
1.5 million annually newbies arriving.
You want 3 million sick people to find jobs 😂
@@SeanF-m4bI’m also born and bred in this county and I wouldn’t be able to get social housing but it has nothing to do with immigrants. There just simply isn’t enough and I’m not seen as a priority so I wouldn’t get it.
It's a start. Many a homeless would be greatful 😮
I'd be grateful
What a country!
Colonizers
And the British media is obsessing over Harry & Meghan!!🥴🥴🥴
This is shameful!
It’s tough but it’s free . That’s how social housing gets by , they make no money back on it so don’t have the cash to make them that lavish , I’ve seen worse and I’ve seen better and people still complain. If you’re on the benefit for longer than 2 months something is wrong and you need to rectify that . Social welfare is a fall back not a full time option. Is the dad paying child support ? Is the dad in the picture ?? People on the benefit that keep getting pregnant need a serious talk , if you can’t afford kids get on the pill. I’d like to know her working background since arriving or has she been on a benefit for years ?
Buy a dehumidifier... ...can be bought for 150 pounds.
They got money for wars but can’t feed the poor!
Yes, Putin wars...
@@BranislavB-hx9zy Exactly, they are putting people against him, but we all know where the evils “United” thrones is.
The piano music makes me really sad. Oh well back to work
I’ve been here since October 2022 to November 2023
It was very difficult to live here specially if you got children
I was here with my wife and my 2 child
Both of them are under 3 years
One of my children was porn when we been there
When Ealing council bring us to Meath court they told us we gonna be here for 6 weeks and they forgot us
Finally they offered us a house on November 2023 and we left
You got lucky. Please don't have more children though. London, England and the world are overcrowded.
You made your wife pregnant while living in a container ? And you think the government is responsible for you ?
@@emilydavison2053 🤡🤡🤡
You have better there, then some people in Luton flats believe me
This is just awful. Vote the Tories out for good!
