Netherlands: A ferry turned refugee shelter | Focus on Europe

A ferry is housing up to 1000 migrants in the port of the Dutch town of Velsen. The authorities chartered the ship because housing for refugees is scarce on land. Some local residents don't approve.

On a slight different note… why is every major country currently experiencing a housing crisis? Why did so many countries’ governments simply decide that building more housing for their growing populations was not something they needed to do?

[@tjmarx]

Because governments don't build houses, private developers do. The problem isn't a lack of new housing projects, I'm sure wherever you are you can find plenty of empty luxury housing developments. Where I live they're called ghost towers That's the real problem, developers have no incentive to build affordable housing, because foreign investment from the worlds new rich happily buy up the luxury housing as investments or somewhere to hold their money. On top of that every man and his dog in the housing market is trying to make it rich flipping their houses. Where once upon a time a home was a place you purchased one time and lived their for the next 45+ years people now care about their short term resale value so they can upgrade to a better property in 2-5 years. Together those things drive housing prices up and up and up until the average person not already in the housing market can no longer afford to enter the market. If it stopped there it would have a cooling effect and lower housing prices again, so governments intervene with "first home buyer" schemes of various designs but all of which have an annual max quota. They exist to keep the market demand up because every politician you will ever hear about, anywhere, has multiple investment properties they want a return on. Airbnb also play a role in reducing available rentals. Landlords are dropping out of long term rentals because they can earn twice, thrice or even quadruple as much converting to short term accommodation through platforms like Airbnb. An entire apartment block in my city told all the tenants last week their leases wouldn't be renewed because the apartment block was being turned into short term rentals. They'll essentially be a hotel with 400 apartments in offer.

[@farticlesofconflatulation]

When governments allow greedy corporations to gobble up homes and development land to rent or sell to the highest bidder, you get average people priced out of the market.

[@smrk2452]

@@tjmarx same in NYC

[@tjmarx]

@@smrk2452 It's the same across every country in the OECD. Increasing supply sufficiently to meet demand would cool the market, which neither developers nor housing investor politicians have an interest in. 2/3rd of voters are those home owners trying to flip their properties by the way, so they don't want housing prices to go anywhere but up either. Governments can't incentivise affordable supply at enough scale without crashing the housing price.

[@nvelsen1975]

For the Netherlands: Because the very agressive lobby of millionaire farmers has demanded that not a single field is used for housing, even though we've way too many fields. And also because the housing stock was built for a different time, when household size was much bigger. In 1970, single-person households were unheard of, now they're nearly the norm. The last proper expansion ended in 1972, the 'Gebundelde Deconcentratie' wave of extensions. 1972 was the last year enough houses were built for the growth of the population until 2019 when that mark was once again hit thanks to policies of Rutte. ...Only to promptly collapse again due to the 'Nitrogen Crisis' where the millionaire farmers kept polluting more and more illegally in a 'If you promise to fix it some day, you can break the rules and pollute now' scheme called the PAS. In 2019, this lying-scheme was declared illegal by the supreme court and suddenly we had 20+ years of extreme pollution by farmers to wreck all our plans and we had to meet a norm from 1999, with the pollution of 2020.

I miss Silja Europa. It's actually a really nice ferry and I can't wait until it goes back on service on the Tallinn-Helsinki route.

[@taijat]

Me too, I hope it will return soon to Helsinki to do its cruises

[@dutchskyrimgamer.youtube2748]

​@@taijatme too, I live in IJmuiden (which is the main town in the municipality of Velsen) and I really want that ship to stfu.

[@SPPhotography89]

12-31-23 is back

[@Anarchist007]

Well..., atleast we allready have them on a boat... Next step is sending them back. And hopefully one day we stop picking them up from sea also..

[@LondonPower]

Sent the boat to Africa now and keep them there for ever 😂

[@SPPhotography89]

NO! back to Tallinn - Helsinki route.

[@hamdi3008]

Europe doesn't have the balls to do so

[@tim79tim]

the boat can travel the people back to their original location, Migration is fine but not at mass.. Netherlands is already one of the most dense countries in europe.

[@xdelta1]

they forgot to mention that this ship is one of the few worldwide that can house paralyzed people and the owner gave it away for this season to help out wounded, and people for example in wheel chairs, standalone women and mothers with kids.

[@protectorh9167]

In the Netherlands people can't get a house or pay to much for renting one, it's terrible for young with normal jobs they can't start a normal life.

[@senormystery721]

Give them a bag of gold each, along with a farm. They deserve it

[@floydstash]

i heard nothing about this on the dutch news.

[@Charlie-yv8dd]

We have a housing problem in the Netherlands. Our country is full, we pay more more tax. So they can live on our ships. Enough is enough.

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made..

[@josephlee4001]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again

[@justinscott6855]

please who is the expert guiding you? i have lost so much as a beginner🥺 investing into stock without a proper guidiance of an expert.

Well i won't say i have........His name is "Jackson Sten Marsh" can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have his basic info, you can research if you like

[@Mathew-bp5bm]

Thank you for sharing; I just Googled his name and his website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to book a call with him and let you know how it goes.Thanks

Thanks for clearing that up, I curiously searched for Jackson Sten Marsh on the internet and thankfully, I came across him my goal is to retire in 5years time.

You want to help all the people, but being the most densely populated country in the world makes it very difficult to find proper space and housing.

This ship is too fancy and will act more like a magnet than a deterrent, as well as being costly to maintain. Although the idea is good, cheaper alternatives such as floating accommodation barges like the Bibby Stockholm might be a better holding solution.

[@Havendukdalf2]

What they don't know is that when the ship is full we bring them right back from where they came from.😁

[@benanders4412]

Wish that was true.

[@themadfarmer5207]

Then that ship will have to do a drop off at 40 or 50 countries. What a cruise. Beyond the means of any ordinary citizen

half the comments below say this is payback and deserved,but I as a woman will never beg to live with my supposed enemy. the people here probably do not even represent the people on the boat. they are just wishing and dreaming they can live with their enemy because the people who do them wrong of their own family and country dont have anything. there are people who only take and never build or sustain and they even know it and proudly say that is their payback agenda. they believe just for being born they are entitled to things. regardless if their mother was forced into marriage or not. therefore they were born into a lie.

[@jamesthomas7928]

If you think it's bad now in Europe and the UK you are not thinking forward. If illegals are treated like this do you really think that they won't use all their smartphones to tell all their friends, family, villages and towns about it and they will come too. EU Brussels Central have no ideas other than open borders so be prepared for hard times - very hard times through no fault of your own
