New Housing for All Plan launched

It's really, truly strange all right.

I suppose you could construe it as "underpopulated in terms of people", that's certainly what the governing bodies think...during a housing crisis...and have thought, and planned, and facilitated, for years. I'm sure any decade now their money generating strategy will pay off. Sorry, I meant housing solution.

At the very, very least, there's a growing recognition that this proposed shyteshow won't work.

But bloody hell are people adept at skirting the obvious, at talking around the gathered elephants in the room. That wont last.

This quote below is an example prime,

"And this is the trap that housing has become for governments across the world."

Once again, there is an attribution of "magic" to the problem, that the poor innocent governments have no say, are powerless, are merely genuine but ultimately useless in the face of this mysterious monster that none can defeat.

Bollix. They are in control. Full stop. They have created and actively, blatantly, encouraged the creation of this supposed crisis over years. An environment has been artificially created by profiteers to extract money out of stone. Forget the piffling bullshit about rent controls and the like, look far, far beyond their housing division to see what's going on.

What's their left hand doing while you're looking at their right hand? Where is the money flowing?

If some arsehole tells you specifically they will do a thing, but underhandedly do the opposite, that's corruption to me. Lies. Bullshyt.

They say they're solving the housing crisis, while simultaneously creating it.

"It's like pension contributions" no, it's fooking well not.

And I'd rather be "spouting" than trying to defend arseholes for no reason. Every day of the week.

Where the money is flowing is a job for journalists and investigators, but you can make damn good guesses, I'm sure.

As for what people should do, the answer is simple; just talk about it. Talk about it in real life when the opportunity arises, spread this government generated information. Challenge politicians if you see one sometime in the next decade. Talk.

And here's what to point out, below...

As said above, in 2020 there were approximately 20,000 housing units built.

Also in 2020 there was a NET addition of 29k extra people through migration. 6k of those were from the combined eu27, Canada, USA, UK and Australia. The other 23k were from "rest of world". During a pandemic, mind.

Here are the complicated mathematics of that...20k housing + 29k people = fixing the housing crisis...according to government maths, that is.

The governments "new housing plan" proposes 300k new builds by 2030.

The government's migration targets/projections (same thing) are that by 2030 they will accommodate a net gain of approximately 360k

So, 300k housing units + 360k net migrants = a piss take in terms of solving the housing crisis.

And what are the odds that both 1) they will not reach the housing goal and 2) the migration numbers will be higher?

We're being treated like fools because we don't respond, like fools. Time is well nigh to change that.

Good honest politicians and their friends, only ever thinking of getting elected and nothing else.

How do you explain the continuation of the housing crisis then? How do you square building housing, the majority of which will be cancelled out by immigration, as a means to end the housing crisis?

Are you incapable of research yourself? Others above are able to look at the figures and pick through them, why not you?

In no shape or form have my complaints targeted immigrants. My ire is entirely directed towards the duplicity of the government.

Perhaps if your conscience wasn't so sensitised you'd be able to read clearly, form thoughts clearly, and come to conclusions clearly rather than seeking an opportunity to end conversation. It's a holy cow for some, I understand that, but it's not good enough to play the ignoramus.
