The rent prices here in England (especially London and the South) are ridiculously high. We work 26 miles from where we live so that we can live in a house rather than a tiny flat.
This guy is so obviously middle/upper class. He probably spends the weekends at his parents' £4m townhouse in central London... Rich people using poverty as a trend...
Even if you're right (I mean you don't have a proof), I can't see sth wrong about it. This lad - and thats what he's saying - he's not just living there, he's making a statement. So, you might be right with your initial assumption, but the message is just as good as before. Think about it: this guy paid 4.000 british pounds to realize this project. Due to the project he and the housing problem gain attention. And wouldn't that be something we want and _poor people_ wouldn't be able to afford?
Im well spoken, still working class though.
@@lillired857yea but you’re probably not spending £4000 for an activism statement
@@mariokrings utter nonsense, poor people want and deserve a proper house like everyone else. Stop the immigration like we asked for with Brexit, not triple it, and maybe you can start to attempt to address the problem without putting everyone in rabbit hutches. This isn't the plan for a 'minority poor', in a society where you'll "own nothing but be happy", we are all poor and we are all living in shoe boxes. Its not a good idea at all, its dodgy conditioning by rich grifters, these videos rarely show anyone who actually lives in these homes
I am marvelling at this guy's sheer creativity. I wish him the very best in his love life too.😀
But Joel London is one giant skip, not the City I grew up and loved in the 70s and you would not Last the night if it was in Camden Town where I live not to bad in Day time but once the sun sets, thats when the Vampires, zombies and other assorted horrors emerg.
That isn't far from me there used to be a Russian tank there called 'Stompie' which was parked there for many many years with it's gun pointed in the direction of the local council offices because the owner of the land was refused planning commission to build there and it is about one and a half miles from Delboy and Rodney land maybe even closer if you include East street market which I beleive was the real theme for 'Only fools and horses' another thing is the writers got many of their idea's from the New kent road area for example Rodney street and other names which isn't exactly Peckham.
I live around the corner from this 'installation', it is on 'Mandela Way' off Old Kent Road about a mile from London Bridge. This replaced the 'T-34' Tank which had been on the site for about 25 years. You mentioned 'Delboy and Rodney' , they lived a mile to the south in Peckham.
He has no view from the windows, overlooking a trading estate ie distribution warehouses.
Bet he was hoping some idiot told the whole world EXACTLY where he was sleeping at night
@@tracymuckle8512 Unlike the idiot who does not UNDERSTAND that this is an ART INSTALLATION and is meant to attract VISITORS.
It's a stunt, but I've seen a video about Tokyo flats that aren't too dissimilar to this. Just a bed and a room, and you're expected to use public showers and eat out for your meals.
Thanks to this channel, I love learning about unusual houses.
If it had a Plot with a Shower and toilet block would be a good way to help the homeless! £4000 per unit plus the nominal £50 monthly rate! could cure a lot of problems!
I wonder how long it takes homeless to get £4k plus that apparently the begging or asking for money is illegal
@@mlee6050 I meant the government could buy the skip houses then I'm sure they get more than £50 in benefits! per week and housed they'd have an address so could get bank accounts, hospital appts etc then start to feel life is better etc and rebuild there lives!!
@@petersp63 actually that be best, sort out homeless then all illegal immigrants move in a skip house as well to save us millions on hotels
Yes, he isn't paying for the land. Its an art instalment not a practical solution. The "rent" is the skip hire.
I'd genuinely be interested how much it would cost if he had to pay market rate to rent the land the skip is on.
5:03 Haha I had this question because I know someone who lives out of a van. Honestly, I would personally not have a problem.
Unfortunately, in London, we have rich investors from other countries like China, Russia, Middle East that buy properties (especially new builds) and then leave them unoccupied so that they increase in price.
Plus we have a lot of illegal migrants that authorities have to house and that also causes a shortage of low income housing.
Nothing to do with foreigners or migrants, it's because not enough affordable housing is being built. You keep voting the Tories in you get exactly what you deserve!
Same in Sydney, Australia there must be at least 100 empty units, owned by overseas investors, near me! Profit first, not taxed enough? "Somehow" these migrants have the local power to be housed before the local homeless! 😏
71% of London real estate is now owned by Indians - mostly non doms.
If the guy in the video made his wooden pod home in the same shape as the skip to the ground, He could have a full length door and wouldn't actually need the skip at all..Thus saving more money
He would probably have a visit from a local authority official telling him it's no longer classified as a skip, and that's when a load of regulations come into play.
Good point 👍🏻. Perhaps keep the skip but hire one with a drop front, That would possibly be between what I mentioned and still keeping the skip. Some laws are dumb lol
Idk why affordable housing is an impossibility for some. It can work and has a net positive for sustainable development.
Its quite simple the people in charge own property, and building more property devalues that property so they restrict building to increase the price of their assets, this includes government buildings and hospitals etc which are owned by billionaires who rent the buildings to the government its where a lot of tax money goes.
Looks like Dr. Who's Tardiss inside.. amazing what a wide angled lens can do.😊
I always laughed at the Concorde episode where the Dr say it’s amazing that Concorde is so small on the inside lol
It's not unlike a Traveller's caravan.
This guy nails it!
Hi Joel , I enjoyed watching this video (pierre)
The trouble with saying people ^can^ live in such tiny spaces is, a few years along, people will find they ^must^.
Good idea for New York, San Fran and LA.
It’s not just rent prices that are insane in central London, it’s leasehold charges as well after buying an average 1/2/3 bedroom ExCouncil authority flat in zone 2/3 or 4. I was born in Bethnal Green in east London but after I moved out from my family home after my mum and sister died I couldn’t afford to live in Bethnal Green where I grew up. Gentrification changed everything and people like me either died or moved further out to be able to afford somewhere to live. I was one of the lucky ones because I was able to buy a property in Essex but many people who was born in Bethnal Green and places like that in London was forced to move out because of excessive rents rises and displaced to another part of the U.K. they have no connection with which would be detrimental to their mental health. But that’s progress for ya.
I live on my sailboat for a yearly cost of $3500 including everything, even Starlink internet. I don't bother getting a job, I deliver some food sometimes just for fun.
Definitely a performance if you need a crap in the middle of the night
Tiny houses are already a worldwide trend, but I like his "statement". Rent prices are mad in many areas. We should start to be more creative. And when you are young and single it is the perfect time.
Interesting video Joel, iot reminds me of some of the episodes I've see of the American Small Houses idea, people living semi off grid in self asembled, small footprint houses. They show some real innovation and ingenuity in te construction.
Joel, you could install this in a garden, yes the insanity of London.
This idea will be thwarted by planning laws. The council will clamp down on this soon if they already haven't done so
In Australia, the government is trying to tax and prevent people placing caravans or temporary homes on they own farmland, it's ridiculous, and I hope the bill doesn't pass! One complaint can destroy a great idea, we need options!
I love it. The government could make some of these to help the homeless and they can be moved around to where they are needed most.
It's a skip, not a dumpster, hence the title😉
It will always be a skip. Making it a dumpster is just one usecase.
Has no one recommended ‘Crashing’ (or ‘Fleabag’) to Joel? The protagonists live in a disused hospital.
You could have also mentioned Canadian series Trailor Park Boys?
@@alansmithee8831 And of course ‘Reservation Dogs’ on FX
I need me a skip house
I went to see this a few months ago and it was all over grown and looked abandoned
In America people convert shipping containers into homes so this is t that unusual. It’s a great way to save on rent and you don’t have to keep moving on like you do when living the van life. ❤
it costs at least 200 to hire a skip!
and prices being pushed up with immigration not enforced
More than half of asylum seekers complain of overcrowding, a lack of privacy and having to spend more than six months living in a hotel. Three-quarters have complained of low quality or inappropriate food and say they are facing hunger or malnutrition. A similar number say are facing mental health problems. Yet this lad can live in a skip!
Yes, it is certainly unreasonable expectations from people who declare they need help and asylum! Homeless people can only dream of serviced hotel rooms, clean bathrooms/showers, free clothes & money and 3 meals a day!
I was gonna watch this but decided to skip it😂😂😂😂
Lol . Like I skipped your post
You can get much larger skips than this so maybe he rented this one based on being a single person 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Joel my friend pays £ 900 per month for a flat and that is not in London.
Jps just like this video for you 🥰😍🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗😘
i need a bigger skip lol
Would be great if they could remove it and put Stompie the tank back again though. I really miss it.
Almost a glamping set-up. Would need a toilet though!!
Yeah, regressing back decades with an outside loo.

Why you stolen my tank ? 🤨
Would someone please explain what a « skip » is.
A dumpster pretty much
Why didn't he buy the skip out right
Actually part of the problem is the government restricting the building of new houses. Which makes the prices go up. It is possibly deliberate many places will block new building because it will devalue their property im told this is happening in parts of california
Thats weird cause here in Somerset, they keep building endlessly, and the local council cant afford to fight them!
@@lillired857 its a tricky issue there is a lot of variance in what is built, where its built but the main problem lies with the overall plan and affordability. Its just overall there are too few and not in the right places.
Some Town Planners are frequently open to persuasion in Sydney, more dwellings means more council income tax! One approval opens the door for others! 🤑 In more exclusive areas, residents are likely to complain and often will pay more to have no new high-rise buildings near them!
@@lillired857same in Wiltshire ! Almost every field is getting built on around me it’s pretty crazy
4:02 So, he lives in the British version of a trailer park? Interesting
Londoners aren't really true Londoners anymore as they commute from up to 60 miles away to afford decent homes.A single bedroom apartment averages £1320 nationally but over £2k a month in London which rules out anyone who earns an average salary. London property unfortunately is a magnet for global speculators and criminals to park their money in eg the more money you spend 5:01 on property the less questions that estate agents (realtors) or lawyers will ask about your sources of wealth.
London is one big skip
Is he basically real life - Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street - who lived in a Trash can
6:10 you talking like its the law of nature, but it is not lol
If I was homeless I could happily do this, the right mindset can achieve anything.
Finding a plot to park it would be a problem.
No Shower, no toilet and no running water? This is ridiculous.
He has a portaloo provided free, he has a water cylinder he refills and showers at work or at the gym 👍🏼
@@laurenC91. Exactly!
I'll have a skip house Only if it comes with a Jps to live with
Lol. Just after we were shown the bed, Joel said, "I'd like to see the bed". Is his memory getting even worse man? 😂
Hello Joel. I will skip on this idea.
Pretty sure someone is pretending to be you and trying to run a scam through telegram
It's probably not the skip that cost, it's the land he is renting.
A completely broken economic model that doesn't need to be that way. It's gotten so much worse in the last 15 years. But, people voted for this situation repeatedly and in the face of better alternatives. They really, really want it. What else could explain it? Unless people are staggeringly stupid, but that can't be right, surely.
Lol, you only have a choice of voting for candidates who are one and the same people behind the scenes. They all represent the WEF, and "You will live in a skip and be happy" Houses are only for 'God's chosen people'
Yes because Wales has been doing great 😂😂
@@101steel4 Facile comment. And they're completely autonomous too. Oh wait.
