Real solutions to the housing crisis require policies that treat them as #HomesNotAssets.
This week I hosted a roundtable with Commonwealth, IPPR, PositiveMoney, and the National Housing Federation, on how to end the housing crisis.
We need:
🏡More public sector housing built
🧱Measures to compel developers to build the homes we need
💷Monetary reform to stop banks inflating house prices

Housing shortages don’t happen forever without someone benefiting.
The uncomfortable question is who — and why that makes change so hard.

Surely the bubble will burst or adjust so that, once and for all, people can have a home, stop it being a luxury, and make it accessible again.
There is an abysmal gap between what people earn and the cost of living. #HomesNotAssets #AffordableHousing

It's not investment if the result is that working-class people here can't afford a roof in their own city.
A thousand times over, I prefer someone who comes empty-handed to work than someone who comes with a full wallet to make everything more expensive. #RentIsTooDamnHigh

Truly shocking.
Some large #UKhousing social landlords have got out of the habit of knowing, or caring, who lives in the properties they own and profit lucratively from. How exceedingly sad, to not care at all about people, like that. 😞
RIP

This is the very essence of what professional landlording is about, and even managing property on behalf of a landlord: taking money without having to earn it.

#ManagedDecline is a major root cause of homelessness.
#ManagedDecline is a national issue that's preventing thousands of perfectly decent homes from being lived in. All because the landlords harbour ambitions to cash in on the land.

#JustLikeKCTMO did before Grenfell, a landlord manipulating the complaints process to screw-over & disregard leaseholders with legitimate issues.
They just do not care about residents and tenants, they really don't, it's ALL about the money.

To #RBKC it was nothing more than a lucrative asset.
