The multi-million-dollar tourist hotspot where locals can't afford to live

Donald RoyThere appears to have been a sting in the tail of the decision last year to cap 'right to buy' discounts in #england at £ 16,000 per property. There was a rush of applications to buy before this came in. These when processed will have a discount of more than £ 100,000 per property. In #wandsworth alone this seems likely to amount to £ 20 - 30 million - scale up to #england we talking at least a billion pounds sterling. And in addition the stock of #publichousing will be reduced!

getmischEt tu, The Hill?
I won't link to it, it's horrible fear mongering from the right. And it's on "The Hill"!
Some rich white lawyer's trying to sell his book, and got an Op Ed on The Hill, of all places, to complain that paying construction workers at least $40/ hour "will further discourage investors"...
Ugh.
THERE. IS. NO SUCH THING. AS LIBERAL MEDIA. IN THIS COUNTRY.
>>HE NEVER PROMISED FREE BUSES!!!

When I say "landlords don't provide housing, they hoard it" there's no better case study than this. Under capitalism one could buy a unit and rent it out with
* affordable rent
* good property maintenance
* fast response for repairs/emergencies
but the only thing holding one to this is personal ethics. Structurally, landlords like Sun are closer to the rule. Gobble up as much supply as possible and hope to stay ahead of consequences
