  • Councils have been accused of pursuing a “scorched-earth strategy” as they slashed housebuilding targets in anticipation of a Labour government.
    READ MORE: www.thetimes.c...
    Research seen by The Times shows that local authorities have cut plans to build thousands of homes by taking ­advantage of Michael Gove’s planning changes. It creates a serious obstacle to Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to build 1.5 million homes within the first term of a Labour government.

    This is a really interesting take on the housing market. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy or not?

      Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert

    It’s sad to see this lady living like this with her child. Although, the problem isn’t shipping containers, it’s badly designed shipping containers that aren’t maintained at all. Also, I noticed this lady lives in Ealing. House prices there have skyrocketed since gentrification, so it’s unrealistic for this lady to think she will find a house there, unless she’s prepared to move out of London to increase her options. So many Londoners, Londoners who were born in London and have lived in London all their life’s, have now left London because they can’t afford to live there. It’s not a choice that’s easy for anyone but the harsh reality that London is no longer for the working class.

      @Moon133 This is not a new problem, we had a short period where housing improved, and it lasted about 30 years. Now we are reverting to how it used to be, private slum housing, overcrowded, rents high and high competition, erode council housing, restrict supply via regulation of building and lending.
      What do you think people coped with before large scale new council housing post WWII? There was some council housing built after WWI, but quite limited before WWII got underway and loads of housing was flattened.
      Why do you think villages like New Lanark. Bourneville and Port Sunlight were built by factory owners in the 19th century? Its because housing was so shockingly bad for their workers they decides to use company profits to make a better life for their workers. Then the welfare state was supposed to do that on a mass scale, and to some extent it has suceeded compared to pre WWII.

    Well, who would have thought that multi year on year hyper immigration (and that's just the legal) much of it unskilled/dependent into a country with a completely unstructured economy regionally would lead to a housing shortage?
    The answer isn't to build on every spare piece of London for example. It's to control immigration and to better balance the economy and opportunities so people don't all come and live in places like London and major cities. The current onslaught of people coming in isn't sustainable and is a really bad deal for the state. For example, why are we giving social housing out to foreign born people???? I think in London now nearly 50% of people in social housing are foreign. Madness... As a human being I feel sorry for this lady in the video, but why is she here in the UK, what does she do??? Where is the father???
    We are at the dawn of an age where AI, Robotics and automation are converging which should make everything cheaper and more efficient, yet our governments are importing people like it's the industrial revolution because they think it will somehow increase the incredible punitive personal tax base and lower inflation (which it doesn't, it just lowers productivity). What are all the Deliveroo and Uber people going to be doing in a few years' time??? How much do they consume in state resources???? I haven't even touched on the social and cultural issues.

My source was a charity speaker who quoted that figure publically when addressing a welfare benefits adjustment/ cut back by the Government earlier this year. It resonated with me as I was appalled at the figure quoted as it represents circa 11% of the population we have. He may have been exaggerating and as I have accepted this information vicariously, therefore I would not offer a rebuttal to your figures.
      It distresses me enormously that so many question's like the aforementioned one I posed on population numbers, are not voiced by the Parlimentarians and the media.
      What do Parlimentarians debate in Parliment, certainly not reviving the economy or creating meaningful jobs. Britain is in the cycle of decay this, because of past incompetent Politicians of both the main parties.
      They allowed " market forces" to guide the reigns of power or they were to concerned with meddling in the social order or being impotent to destructive militancy. Durative seeds were not shown for the future by lack of wisdom in appreciating the rules of change. 1) Decay follows growth and 2) you are the either the master of change or the victim of change. Britain is being left behind because of this. We now have a incestuous economy services, house building, house sales. All this is dependant on the disposable income of the workers and what few producers we have left.
      I will not burden you further with my frustrations Hilary. I will close by offering my condolence for your presently being economically inactive and sincerely hope you find a situation that is worthy of your skills.

    There is nothing wrong with container homes. Like any other home they must be maintained and be of good design to allow condensation to escape and cooling system to cool homes down. If they planted trees, this would of helped. The layout of the containers (all the homes) is in a terrible including narrow paths. I would of put the washing facilities in the middle of the homes, if the homes were in rectangle formation along with a park besides the laundry room so children can play while parents do the laundry. Must be maintained. Security needs to come back and ensure everyone is safe. How ironic that council expects businesses and homeowners to comply with building regulations, but they themselves are the biggest twacks. Those container homes are poorly designed. Must of got duck to draw up the plans.
