Paul Smith and Vicky Spratt: How Do We Solve the Housing Crisis? (Bristol Ideas)

[@ketugrahagraha3673]

Great video, very informative, thank you. Unfortunatley, undestandding what you were talking about requires thinking while the idea "this is all because of immigrants" does not. I am not saying people are stupid, because they are not. They are incredibly intellectually lazy.

Hate say it but mass migration won't help the crisis. Not a fascist or knuckle dragger, just saying a fact

You have managed to put up millions of illegal migrants in lovely hotels. Why can’t you do the same for your actual English citizens?

"We know how to solve it, social housing and rental regulation". So here are the problems of this type of thinking. Essentially restrict landlords from exercising their rights on the properties they have built (price cap) thereby decreasing their want to invest in housing which exasperates the rental problem because you just terminated the main source of rental properties. Alternatively tax every working individual indefinitely more, (but not the unproductive) to cover the material and labour building costs for social housing and the corrupt bureaucratic gouging that will follow. Then you have the problems of green policies inflating costs dramatically, immigration and globalism. You cant put the toothpaste back in the tube. You are more likely to be a man and homeless than a woman with a child, black or marginalised, it is the primary defining characteristic. Who's off track here? Why does she think the possibilities are endless but that nobody has any of these ideas or is engaged in any of these endeavours presently? Ideology anyone? So how exactly are we "just going to give everyone a home?" While we are at it why not just make everyone a millionaire? So easy right? Nope!
