The fuck is a social housing landlord? Isn't the whole point of social housing that it's not owned by some fucking piece of shit landlord?
Thatcher social housing snatcher. It all got sold off and now its privatised and the state spend gorillions giving money to landlords
Lmao wtf, the UKkk is surely THE neoliberal hell on earth
It very much is. Anyway worth looking up post war consensus and right to buy if you're interested in what we had and lost within the span of like 40 years.
Or this very good Tom Nicholas video https://youtu.be/jZpLiJdIGbs
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
the germans did this, except in some cases after the buildings were basically collapsing because the profit has been squeezed out of it they bought them back, renovated them, then sold them again
No. Fucking. Way. That is absurd. UK labor is fucking worthless. What a ridiculously easy issue to campaign on.
Labour isnt useless - they actively campaign for that shit, like most of europe's succdem parties.
if you are a landlord (parasitic filth) you can register with a regulator or the local council to offer the property as social housing
generally they are supposed to be held to certain standards and be inspected etc.
but pretty much every council has a waiting list ~5-10 years long because thatcher sold a shitload off, so they usually fast track them through, so the tenant gets miserable and sick, and the slumlord gets rich
Also because the UK forgot how to build anything that's not a giant glass dildo for investment banks around 1980
At least in my county, the council doesn't really interact with or take responsibility for social housing. It was solely that social housing was offered to low-income families and that it's supposed to be charged at 75% market rate.
In fairness, most social housing is owned by supposedly not-for-profit organisations, but they're still typically making rich people rich and screwing over poor people.
Haha no, let's have a parasitic middle man otherwise is gommunism and "inneficient", and let's also do that with hospitals, ports, railroads etc
But look on the bright side, we don’t have to pay the scary T-WORD (subsidizing businesses is different, trust me.)
Lower quality housing morally justified as being for the needy
The US pretty much has the same thing with Section 8 housing and it's also poorly maintained.
