  5. Rent caps do not work. <This will lower house pricss, making them more affordable for first time buyers.> No. It actually raises housing prices in addition to shrinking supply as no new housing will be built and whatever housing still available will become even more scarce. And if you're someone looking for new housing, you're SOL.

  6. <The post-war Labour Reforms (The Welfare State) to rid the country of poverty, disease and squalor were never supported by the Tory Party because they smacked of socialism.> And for good reason. They bankrupted the UK and the UK had to run to the IMF for a bailout.

  8. Namely in cities and states run by Democrats and leftists.

  9.  @MaterLacrymarum  <It's supply and demand in an unregulated sector,> Housing is rather over-regulated. And cities have only so much land available for building. Home-owners are the majority.

  15. <hey've forgotten about ppl living alone on minimum wage. We have to pay for everything.> Get a roommate or significant other if you don't like having to pay for everything. Otherwise, deal with it.

  16. <the government allowing companies to build luxury high rise properties> Due to local zoning restrictions and neighborhood activists, that's the only high-density housing legally allowed to be built. <due to a lack of affordable property was being built!> Due to high land values and government regulations making it not worth the trouble.

  17. And replace it with what? Another tyrannical system that communism was/is?

  18. But New Zealand has more homelessness per capita.
