And another empty home image. I liked the apparent simplicity until you look in detail of the image when I took this one. A paradox of the eyes. #Color #photography #art #©stevec #France #notAI #vintagelenses #nature #naturephotography #landscape #shadows #fineartphotography #emptyhomes

There’s room for every migrant if we unlock the locked gates of Britain’s country estates. Let's redistribute some of that hoarded wealth.

Do you know what we hate? EMPTY HOMES! England alone has about 265k long-term empty homes, whilst a housing crisis destroys generations. EDMOs are one solution, or you could give us a call!

The real scandal is Britain’s aging, neglected housing stock. But it’s fixable: fund councils to renovate empties, support retrofits, and make good homes a national priority. Quality is possible and we have to choose it. #EmptyHomes #BetterHomes

Empty Homes = Big Profits

Investors don’t need you to rent, they just need the houses in their portfolio.
This is how we get skyrocketing rents, people without homes, and neighborhoods full of empty units.
🏠 It’s not a glitch. It’s the system.

A radical solution: Take immediate action to fill the thousands of empty homes across London. Tax vacant properties at a higher rate, and repurpose them into affordable social housing. Empty homes are a crisis within a crisis—let’s put them to use for those who need them most. #EmptyHomes

massive beef with #BC and #Vancouver for having 2 diff programs for #EmptyHomes that if you miss one, you owe them 10s of 1000s of $

It feels like a scam
It feels like a 'gotcha'

I find it deeply confusing. Can't imagine how senior home owners feel.

Totally empty homes in Melbourne are up 16%

In 2024, 31,890 homes sat completely empty. Add 69,000 underused homes, and that’s 100,000+ homes lying idle while people sleep on the streets.

Yes, we need more homes—but we can’t ignore the ones we already have.

The solution?

What does population decline actually LOOK like? Empty homes, shrinking schools and infrastructure waiting for people who aren't coming.

Over 1M homes in England are sitting empty or not in permanent use - the highest level since 2018.

542k empty homes + 268k second homes + 212k unoccupied exemptions = missed opportunities for people facing homelessness.

The UK's coastal 'ghost enclaves' are the result of government failure on low-use homes theconversation.com/the-uks-coas... by Rowland Atkinson et al

Since 2022, we have gathered council tax data at what statisticians term "lower super output area" level. These are small areas containing between 400 and 1,200 housholds (or 1,000-3,000 people). Each approximates a community or neighbourhood unit. In England, there are just over 33,000 of these areas. Of the 371 local authorities (or equivalent) across England, Scotland and Wales, we got data from 205 – covering 64% of the population of the three nations. We found that large numbers of local authorities have areas in which 5% or more homes are low-use. In 50 of the 205 council areas we looked at, we also found ghost enclaves where at least 20% of properties – and as many as half in some areas – are empty or largely unoccupied.
