If you can't house them, just clear them off the streets. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/outrage-anti-homeless-spikes-spotted-outside-3658055 This is the level of housing exploitation the UK has sunk to, mainly in London of course. The council shut this one down, but how many of them still remain? Thousands I bet. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/tiny-flat-taken-off-the-market-by-islington-council-9497765.html

In The Market To Buy.... Some Depressing Observations
Darkman replied to Darkman's topic in Anecdotals
Yeah that did occur to me too. I hope we can get the place with no agents involved, because dealing with them brings me a fraction closer to a breakdown -
So this video is just some loaded knob showing off his flashy house? Good luck with the heating bills, including heating the pool. I also note his flashy rear balcony looks right down over his neighbours gardens. How nice for their privacy. I bet they love their new resident. /rant

My wife and I are seriously considering buying a small place in the UK (west london). I waited a looong time for this "epic crash" and now believe the establishment will only allow a slow motion crash over a decade at least (and that's optimistic). But that's not the point I want to make..... no one knows for sure which way the market will go. Having contacted some agents and got some research done on what our cash can buy us... some things have become clear. And they're not encouraging for people looking for a home.

Billionaire Properties No One Would Live In
Darkman replied to Darkman's topic in House prices and the economy
No doubt there's a financial reason for it. I'm sure the owners gain otherwise they wouldn't do it. Unfortunately this trend does not benefit Britain or British people, so I hope something will be done about it. Though I won't hold my breath... -

Darkman replied to Darkman's topic in House prices and the economy
Incorrect, assuming you're not being sarcastic. The properties pictured are clearly falling apart. And it does make me feel a tad angry seeing inhabitable spaces left to ruin when people need good homes to live in! -

You can express your opinion and so can anyone else. But most people don't like being labelled a "fascist" though. Don't tempt them to use all these new PC anti-hate laws & have the police give you a visit for offending them

I don't think any serious comparison to Hitler can be made here. It's ludicrous frankly, and alarmist in a very politically correct way.
