| Comment | I disagree - they created a market by pushing through right to buy. Right to buy allowed the council to create homeowners out of its council housing tenants, and generate a nice windfall with it.. But the caveat was that then those same council's were not allowed to build any replacement council housing stock.
Thus, they *created* a market where there is a demand - but let's be clear, this isn't a demand for *rental* housing, it's a demand for the basic human right of *shelter*.. and they exploit that for their financial gain.
You will never change my mind about this - landlords are parasitic financial vampires. What's worse is that they prey upon the financially vulnerable, the "essential" workers on minimum wage, the single parents, the disabled - everyone who we are meant, as a society, to be doing everything in our power to help - to lift out of poverty, in many cases.
But nah, keep defending a landlords right to expropriate a chunk of *actual* workers wages every month. |
