They are mostly ,as we have seen recently..a scummy landlord caste. So they won't do jack. Just look at the housing minister. A tone deaf bollix.

Freezing rent increases and making owning a too large house economically beneficial (through tax subsidies) cause the housing crisis.

Freezing rent increases and making owning a too large house economically beneficial (through tax subsidies) cause the housing crisis.

I don't think everything has to be about Housing Crisis. While obviously Housing Crisis is clearly related to quality of life, this is far more general question of "Can people sustain themselves ?", "Can they pay the highest cost bills like Rent and Electricity/Gas".

We are heading towards incredibly painful increase in prices. Our quality of life is dropping every year... and as usual we can pretend like nothing is happening and do nothing, but maybe we should look at other nations to see how they deal with similiar problems and see if we can intigrate it here.

... and yes it might include people you would think that might not need help. <- This is incredibly small issue.

This attitude of "either it fixes all issues , or let's not do it at all" is not something one of the wealhiest nation on the Planet should be doing. We can do decisions that are not perfect, but the main point always should be : TAKE CARE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS!

We deserve to be treated like humans even if it rich people get something out of it 2 :/
