So where will people live if there are no landlords renting property? Your solution where the landlord takes all the financial risk and a third party controls everything is doomed to failure. The landlords will sell up and ship out as they are already starting to do in Newcastle.
So now it is an essential service ?
But of course, and in his socialist Eutopia we would no doubt all be expected to genuflect before the state provided statue of the supreme leader, presumably good old Jezza, and have his picture hanging on the wall, on pain of being sent off to be re-educated.
No not at all. Housing is an essential service but having people just seeing it as a way of supplementing their pensions isn't the best way to provide it.
It’s pretty much the only pension I will have.
It doesn't remove "rental properties" it removes landlords. The properties remain. Quite how these should become available to those in need of housing is another matter.
Quite, as long as the rental property is maintained to a good standard it doesn't matter who owns the property, indeed much of the state or council managed social property is in a far worse condition than much of the privately owned and managed rental homes.
But you need Landlords in order to offer the rental properties to those who need or want to rent.
The hate comes from the far left whose real agenda is driven by spite and envy of those who 'have' - they dress it up as empathy for the poor, but this is clearly a lie as they don't care if the poor are helped as long as the wealthy are harmed.
In a democracy we are the state.
Thatcherism, in a word.
I agree entirely with you on a lot of things woodwork, plus saw safety and also on sharpening Jacob. But hell that’s where it stops!
In a democracy we wouldn't be governed by a government elected by one person in five.
