  1. <I was lucky to get this place 11 years ago at a really cheap rent that was never raised> Which is probably the reason the owner sold the place. He could no longer keep the rents cheap in the face of mounting costs to maintain it and cover basic operating expenses.

  2. Housing is not a right as the woman in video proved. Even the government denied her.

  3. How so? Private landlords own the property.

  11.  @alexandrabellerose3550  Landlords have every right to turn you down.

  12. Yeah! How dare they run a business like a business and actually make money? <and not thinking about other peoples situation what if you was in their shoes> It's not their responsibility. And many of those other people you want them to think about are in their situations due to their own poor management of personal finances with living beyond their means being one of the reasons.

  13.  @mattiaslp9645  Let alone buy their own property, because they don't want the financial and legal responsibilities that come with it.

  14.  @starrwinter  Housing is not a right. And the woman with 6 months worth of rent saved up proved it.

  15. Not really. And so much for housing being a right.

  22.  @user-bi8ko7kc6h  So? Their property, their rules.

  23.  @pellier08  Exactly. And then you wonder why the UK has a consumer/household/personal debt problem.

  24.  @moosky7344  <councils run by Labour are going broke!!> Which was why Thatcher sold them off in the first place.

  25. Exactly.

  26. You need more government-owned slums?

  27. Entitled tenants.

  28. Hard-working people who can't manage their personal finances and can't handle the responsibilities of ownership so they opt to rent.

  32. No. They manage what they have better than you do. That's why they're better than you. Your own complacency did you in.

  33. Thatcher wouldn't have needed to sell them had the previous Labour government in charge not mismanaged them into insolvency.

  34. For what?

  35. Too bad a lot of them are just plain lousy with personal finances.

  36. Don't live beyond your means.

  37.  @marlonblade007  Not really. No one is obligated to give her housing. And they exercised their right.

  38.  @andym87  But now coming undone due to mass immigration and the same heavy regulations making it too costly to build new housing.

  39.  @NTVT1999  And rightfully so as affordable housing = revenue loss.

  40. Labour is not the answer.

  45. What capitalists? Socialists destroyed it. Socialism and feminism go hand in hand.

  46.  @DELETED-f3x  Just like who cares about tenants that live beyond their means then have to cry about being broke and hungry?
    1
  47. Nope. The housing crisis is due to government intervention. Mass immigration-induced high demand, high taxes and regulations that make it costly to build and maintain housing and lopsided laws in favor of tenants.

  48. <This is what conservative government gives you.> Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia beg to differ as they all have liberal/left-wing governments in charge.
