Hell yeah man, let’s make people’s lives harder so number go up.
In the classic tradition of “fuck you, I got mine”.
We are calling on the government to build 30,000 social homes every year for the next two decades until we end the shortfall, and ensure everyone who needs a home can get one.
Lol. With the neolibs/conservatives firmly in charge of politics — letting capitalism dictate housing, probably leading to fascism — this is gonna get so much worse. It’s only gotten worse for over 4 decades. Even if they build an extra 100k a year of social housing I doubt they’d hit the shortfall we’ll have in 2 decades.
This isn’t a “perverse incentive” – the government explicitly and directly encourages this behavior.
It seems odd to blame the housing orgs here for doing what the government asks them to.
