You hear the Tories go on about making UK a Singapore-on-Thames. I’m from Singapore. Do you know what we have? Massive social housing projects, built to own but heavily subsidised, all good quality. Funny how they like to emulate the bits they like (low taxes, deregulation) but develop selective deafness with the bits that don’t seem very conservative
The problem is London is full of old protected buildings, some only a couple of storeys stall. If London wants to be like Singapore in terms of housing, it will have to throw out the listed building regulations and everything else and get the wrecking ball out. You can't be a forest of skyscrapers and apartment blocks and keep *all* your historic buildings. It's just not possible. Plus the sightline rules will have to be completely thrown out.
This man has a complete grasp of the problem and should be listened to. I would add that there will always be a section of the population who can’t or don’t want to buy their own house. Before Thatchers “right to buy”, if you were a low wage earner, a carer, cleaner, street sweeper or similar then there was an understanding that you could apply for, and eventually get, a council house - a decent place to live. That social contract has been broken and you can work hard on minimum wage and still face poor housing and associated deprivation. From this stems much of the societal problems that we are trying to solve in tandem, things like poor health, absenteeism from school, drug and alcohol use, criminality, the list goes on.
Thing is, they haven't been building any social housing themselves and so they are turning a blind eye as there isn't the supply. Millions more homes need to be built and restored.
The question is whether Local Authorities will ever have enough officers to make those inspections. Furthermore, the threat of (discounted?) compulsory purchase might be necessary to force recalcitrant landlords to make the dwellings habitable.
right, and what will the council do if the accomodation is ot up to scratch? they dont have enough housing stock to rehouse the tenant, so they will make the tenant homeless
@@grpgoulder7197 oh right, thats turned out well. the video talks about kids having to move and their schooling is badly affected right at the begining...this would just exacerbate it. temporary accommodation can be a room in a hotel with a fixed booing limit which is happeneing already all over the country. here is a solution, the councils get forced to build council housing that cannot be sold on under right to buy. This would save the local authority a big housing benefits bill that only goes to hotels and private slum landlords.
Wow, Kwajo Tweneboa is so passionate and a great speaker. Kwajo, maybe you should consider going into Westminster politics at some point, as was mentioned towards the end of this video. You really know how to get your points across. I think you could make a great impact as an MP. I'm very glad that I saw this video.
Unfortunately the government has left this too late and 30yrs has proved they won’t do anything about it. The fact that they want to build social homes but don’t want to fund it directly and have private developers is a complete paradox so unfortunately the problem will still persist. (They’ll build it but it’s likely that they’ll be unaffordable to the many and could end up with first time buyer with cash) The reality is trying to build a social homes in the most expensive land in the world.(London) is not viable. ( I think they know this hence why they use immigrants as scapegoat for the problem) we need a law to prohibit council homes to be sold
We can't build houses quickly enough to even match nett migration, let alone catch up with the backlog. There have been tens of thousands of houses and flats built in and around my town in the last 15 years. Right now there are two huge housing estates and numerous apartment blocks being built. Its a case of supply and demand. No amount of mental gymnastics will change that. Then theres the issue of infrastructure..........
The Tories forced local authorities to flog off council housing under the 'Right to buy' scheme (as did the Blair government who added housing designed for disabled residents).
Then the Tories and Labour put foreigners into our Social housing, almost half in London is inhabited by people who were born abroad. We have been sold-out
makes yuo wonder what would have happened if the banks were not bailed out in 2008, and they didnt do ZIRP and QE, perhaps prices would have come down and so people would have bought
Even if councils had been allowed and or encouraged to use council house sales receipts to invest in new housing g stock perhaps it would not be too bad.
It would be a lot cheaper to employ an army of INDEPENDENT building inspectors, to check the quality of the work and the authority to get it fixed. Without this happening we will just see more of the same rubbish being built.
Mostly more pensioners. Pensioners cost the NHS 10x what a young working person costs. As the proportion of pensioners as a part of the population grows, more of the budget gets shunted to the NHS to provide worse results because even the increased funding cannot keep up with the ballooning costs. In the meantime we beggar Peter (social housing) to pay Paul (NHS)
15.6 billion spent on housing last year is a joke and waste of money….. how much would it actually cost if we owned it No landlords having to pay mortgage cost ect
A2 dominion is the worst offender, the worst landlord. I know many people that live in sub standard housing because of them ignoring the needs of tenants. They are criminals.
Unbelievable, this ENTIRE CONVERSATION and not a single mention of unnatural population growth, 89a% of our population growth is due to immigration. We have a housing EMERGENCY. This issue can't be resolved by only focusing on supply. Over the last 25 years, we have seen more immigration than in the previous two thousand years, with around 8 million people coming to this island while the native birth rate remains below replacement levels. Without immigration, we would be facing empty houses. Thatcher sold social housing, but the Blair/Brown government built fewer social houses during their entire tenure than Thatcher built in a single year. This means we've been failed for 30 years due to insufficient house building and the influx of mass immigration. Additionally, our domestic housing market has been opened to international corporations, foreign investors, and individuals. According to the ONS, we have over one million illegal immigrants not on the books, likely many more. Massive overcrowding, hot-bedding, and beds in sheds are prevalent because people need somewhere to go, and we haven't built enough houses. This is one of the great hidden secrets of the housing EMERGENCY; it's much worse than people imagine. It's almost impossible for British people to find social housing. In London, where I lived for a decade, about 48% of social housing is inhabited by people born abroad. None of this is sustainable socially, culturally, economically, or environmentally. Simply building more houses won't solve the issue. To cope with the immigration from the last three years alone, we would need to build a new Birmingham, complete with sewage systems, electricity generation, fresh water, doctors, dentists, schools, and meaningful work. The problem is so large that most people aren't willing to face reality, and cognitive dissonance prevents them from acknowledging it. I hope you now understand why we have a housing EMERGENCY and how it is both a supply and demand problem that needs to be addressed. It's time to overcome cognitive dissonance, have a serious discussion, and deal with the harsh reality. We must stop unnatural population growth, deport illegals and visa overstayers, prioritize British people for social housing, and tell environmentalists to identify areas they are willing to develop into new towns and cities. They may not like it, but they too support mass immigration and refuse to address its impacts or assess its sustainability. Are you ready to have a mature and objective conversation, or will you delete my comments again and perpetuate the problem?
Ahh yes blame the boat people then run scared with some conspiracy that your comment will be deleted-- a concern THAT people from ALL side of the spectrum complain about. Population is rising all over the place, immigration is also a Natural thang. The, you also have jobs concentrated in the south, London and wonder why housing is so expensive there while dirt cheap up north. Just keep blaming the boat folk.
When Humans will Build Houses, as a human necessity. Not for Profits.Billions in Profits.. Poverty will be completely eradicated, a Couple will no longer work only for the profits of Organized Cartels on the backs of the Workers. These Landlord’s,who make their living from the suffering of the workers!!
Council housing will help, but at its core the problem isn't housing. Unfortunately the problem is the people. A lot of parents shouldn't be parents. As reeves is saying, if we cannot afford it we cannot do it. If you want a child you need to think about this.
@@beanboiisback I agree, but what choices do we have? The cap will go and we will just see an ever increasing number of people relying on welfare. These people should not be doing that, how we resolve it is one of the biggest questions of our time. We are in serious financial peril, either working class get this or they are going to be really shocked when the middle classes stop paying.
No more Help to Buy nonsense, which reportedly inflated the prices of poorly built new housing and added to the risk of negative equity. The market has proven it is incapable of supplying adequate housing. Social housing should be built using modern architectural innovation which improves resilience to weather conditions. Planners should allow far greater freedom in how people create their own homes. If you own a plot of land, you should have the right to live even in a caravan or whatever. Of course, this would ultimately reduce some of the pressure on housing and therefore affect the profit element, which is driven by scarcity and exclusivity.
I see your point, but this situation was caused by the state, not the market. It is the state that restricts house building through the planning. It is central government that prevents local councils from building social housing.
Rayner has made her commitment to build a lot of social housing very clear. She has the brief to make it happen. I have not seen any mention of where the associated capital is meant to come from, I can only assume that this will become clear as details of this years Kings speech unfold.
Unless they are providing acceptable full time accommodation at a price the tenants are willing and freely able to afford. In time, I suggest housing as investment will become less of a thing. Especially when the pressure of demand eases through freeing up both cash and planning laws to allow social housing to grow.
Social housing is not the answer to the UK’s housing problem, home ownership is. But to have home ownership the UK must fix the broken home purchase financing problem, and the land use problem. Land use there is no shortage of land to build homes on in the UK, it is just off limits due to government policy, the new Labour government could open land up for home ownership. Home financing is the second key to ownership, the UK system has a high buy in to obtain a mortgage, and there interest rates are not stable, both of these are fixable with government backed 30 year fixed rate mortgages look at the U.S. model where government insured mortgages are extremely stable, that stability means a stable housing market. With land to build on, and stable low entry home mortgages, the market will take care of itself, the reason the UK system is in the bad shape it is in, is because of the lack of new built homes, and waiting for a social house is like putting a bandaid on a cancer, it will not work. No talk about housing can go forward without massive planning reform, first step is build by right, there is just too much government bureaucracy, and interference in the building process, out side of health, and safety.
Home ownership, in the form of right to buy and buy to let, is one of the main causes of the issues we have now. With inflated house prices, not everyone can afford to buy a house. Social housing is key.
You can't reverse decades of under investment overnight. The gov or social housing groups should be allowed to borrow much more for public housing. Relying on the private sector alone will not fix things. Borrowing to build houses is non-inflationary and an investment in the future. The past policies of throwing vast amounts of gov money into first time buying schemes just fuelled demand and increased prices, whilst benefiting very few. Nobody gets criticised for taking out a mortgage to buy a house. Nobody would wait to save their whole life up to buy a house for cash so the idea that we can't afford to borrow to build public housing is not well founded. Build build build. The UK did this after 1945 when the country was destitute so can't see what the problem is now.
This was wonderful. He was a very well spoken and honest presence. I really hope the Labor Party steps-up and Mr. Starmer can help resolve many of the "foundational" issues this young man spoke about. DA
Good to see the Labour Government taking some concrete steps to address the housing crisis (and crisis is the word) in the UK. Call me naive, however, but isn't who builds these properties, who owns them and what rents they are allowed to charge more important than supply and demand? What's to prevent 500k new homes simply being hoovered up by private landlords. thereby simply magnifying the structural problem that exists? How many of the 411 Labour MPs currently own properties that they let? I think people are asking the wrong questions about housing.
