The newest housing misery.

Government is now launching these 'shed-sits' in back gardens.
They're further expanding a lower tier of 'renter' - one who will have no right to the RTB, no right to even basic privacies, and can be evicted at the drop of a hat.

It's no wonder that this is the brain-child of tech billionaires - it's a method of immiseration and lowering the standard of housing for everyone.

We knew these were never going to be just for 'family'🙄
