Are these new homes in the room with us now?

Bro is actually scared of the arguments of someone that lost to a lettuce 😂😂

James Austin 🥑🗽🏗🏘️ Na₂Ca(CO₃)₂•5H₂O NIMBYs who think there are enough homes somewhere else, should move to these locations

I've had a few people make this argument to me 'we have enough homes nationally'.

Putting aside whether this is true... who in Bristol are you going to allocate to go and live in Saltcoats, Blyth or Grimsby? Because I'm betting its not you.

The problem with stealing from the future to give to the past, is eventually there’s not enough future to give to the present.

Presenting (drumroll please) The Most Important Chart In British Politics

Cameron and Osborne placing the entire burden of austerity on the working-aged while creating a socialist utopia for pensioners.

If the Twentieth Century Society wish for these buildings to be reused, they should fundraise to purchase and do the work involved themselves. Forcing the current owners to preserve a building they want to demolish is a classic case of freeloading.

🥑🗽🏗🏘️ Na₂Ca(CO₃)₂•5H₂O Another counter argument for supply denial: The durable store of value bit of housing is the land, so if it’s all about speculative value, why do land prices (generally) increase when given residential planning permission vs commercial? And why does this uplift vary by locale?

Or ask the inverse - so if we destroy houses, will prices rise or fall?

We caught one of them 🪤

Dare you to community note the left/right

‘Markets today completely fail at developing humanity any further.’

Having fun? 🥑🗽🏗🏘️ Na₂Ca(CO₃)₂•5H₂O 260k empty homes is 0.9% of the 28.4m dwellings in the UK, and enough for approximately ten months of *only* England's (insufficiently high) housing target

Looks like a supply shortage to me

This is one of the lowest proportions of empty homes in the entire OECD, and most of these empty homes are located in areas with few jobs where people don’t want to live.
