The population wants and needs more housing, that's been a fact for quite some time now. Adding way more supply to the market should help house prices, albeit a small amount. We're already seeing the average price start to drop in real terms.

I'd be interested to see where those 600,000 houses are and what condition they're in and if they're suitable for modern families.

I'm not answering your question at all am I lmao

Have you considered a career in politics?

In the UK in 2023, it was about 2.5 per 100,00 people.

You might have mis-read my comment, what are their prices like, relative to ours?

old and “full of character” (read: uneven floors, crumbling paper-thin walls) due to lack of regulation.

Basically a bit like our old terrace houses that are full of damp and way too small for modern life.

I'm not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it's not up to me, but I'd be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can't see their posts or comments, but I'm a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.

!UKCasual@lemmy.world

Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they'd want to redirect to us.

What are house prices in France like?

I'd have to guess it's to disincentives illegal immigrants coming into the country.

I get the optics of it to be honest. We're constantly being told there's not enough money for essential services, there's housing shortages and so on, but then people can come here and get housed, receive money etc. It's probably also a tough pill to swallow when they're coming from safe countries.

This is absolutely what's driving the popularity of Reform, and will continue to do so.

I was 13 when I had my first job (paper round) and then 15 when I worked in a pub kitchen. The pub job was a great laugh! They definitely made me appreciate the value of money and work.

The only realistic option without performing any cuts is to increase the retirement age. Pensions are something like 50% of the welfare costs. Even then it probably won't be enough.

Yeah, it seems unbelievable, I was starting to question what it really meant by "fixed speed camera" as if it were something different to what we usually see. I wonder how they've managed to go so long without one?

North Yorkshire's first fixed-location speed camera

Am I misunderstanding or is this saying that North Yorkshire hasn't had any traditional speed cameras up until now?

Maybe it was dyslexic and misread incest as insect
