It's a good prediction
End the war on drugs will bring them somewhere between 2 and 5bn a year in revenue and savings
Legalise consumption of some drugs, start selling it, tax it
Not all, obviously
THat's what i mean
If he's prepared to make massive investment in social housing, he'd be able to save a lot on the housing benefit budget
"""Social housing"""
It's an endless money pit
Yes, it is
There's plenty of houses in the UK
Force people to rent them out if they're sat there empty
legalise all drugs, if people die taking them that's just natural selection
Like THOUSANDS in London
But it's an even bigger money pit when you have a housing shortage but you're paying taxpayer money to private landlords in order to house poor people
The housing shortage is coming from people leaving their homes empty
It's not
Like in London for example
There are over 2 million people homeless or underhomed in the UK. There are not empty homes for 2 million people in London
And the number increases every year
Part of it is, mostly though it's because we haven't built homes and for some reason don't want to build on unnatural greenspace
Stop building more homes.
It's a waste of money and land usage
Take the homes away from faggots not using them
OK Corbyn
No point building on greenspace when you a) need the greensspace for the environment and food, and b) people want the homes where the work is
Calm down
Kek, nothing wrong with Corbyns policy in that regard tbh
IN general you want to be limiting population growth and then fixing the housing crisis we have
Then force people to rent or sell their empty homes @Eccles
Just tax the shit out of empty homes
Easy. Badda bing, badda boom.
Waste of land usage as compared to what? Farming is uneconomical and their are plenty of greenspaces within a radius of cities
And tax the shit out of empty houses yes
"Waste of land usage as compared to what" Compared to more empty homes.
Why build more homes which are going to sit empty, unused?
Honestly if I owned a empty home
And you wanted to tax it or kick out
I'd be renting that shit
Farming is not uneconomical
I'd convert to commercial
