Yep, the professional classes & laptop left fell big time under the #covid spell. I had a similar experience for just asking questions and looking at a wider range of sources

Long-term empty homes have risen by 93% in London during a housing crisis which sees over half of all England's homeless families coming from London (the national rise is 32% in 8 years) - reform of the Empty Dwelling Management Order is long overdue Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov as Adam Hug argues
