Landlords are growing ever-wealthier because the the number of *children* in temporary accommodation is now greater than the population of York, and the state is paying through the nose for it.

You honestly start to wonder why the IMF doesn't intervene in British politics.

🚨 Parliament has accepted Amendment 30 - Delaying Section 21's abolition 🚨

Abolishing Section 21 is the heart of this legislation. This has confirmed that we have no set time for that to happen. Another incredibly frustrating cave-in.

It was passed by 287 votes to 144.

🚨🚨 We Renters' Reform Coalition members will not accept this Renters (Reform) Bill 🚨🚨

Against Landlords by Nick Bano review – valuable ideas for how to solve Britain’s housing crisis theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

At a bookshop talk for ‘Against Landlords’ in Edinburgh last night, a landlord complained that the event might breach hate crime laws. So if you never hear from me again it’s because I’ve been arrested and thrown in a Scottish jail.

Such a good example of law & regulation having an impact on the generative capacity of housing: landlords can make more money by repurposing our homes from 'ordinary' lets to TA.

We could reverse this through rent controls, if we wanted.
