    @HardBeingGreen

    Non-profit coop housing has been working for decades in Europe. It is no different from good govt social housing , also working well in Europe for decades (I spent my early years there in social housing in the late 50s early 60s). Long term agreements in some schems are also decades long and a few are no different from home ownership passed on to kids.

    It’s all doable, cost effective, socially responsible and a godsend to low wage workers and those who can least afford housing (there is still the issue of waiting lists because there’s never enough …)

    Current housing issues in Australia, just like poverty in Australia IS A POLITICAL DECISION. The sooner the electorate understands this, the sooner we can fix it at the ballot box.

  6. The requirement for "balance" in this Beeb piece about possible rent controls in Scotland ends up sounding quite uncritically pro landlord to me and fails to expand all the possible options. #news #RentControls #Scotland #UK

  7. The plan to make landlords potentially pay National Insurance on rental income is long overdue. While it’s right that landlords contribute their fair share, average rents in Northern Ireland have soared by 45% in the past decade. This extra cost must not be passed onto tenants who are already struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Tax fairness cannot come at the expense of affordable homes.

  8. Scottish Greens

    The Scottish Parliament has just voted to progress the Housing Bill that was secured by the Scottish Greens and will:

  13. In a Toronto neighbourhood, renters go up against big owners

    The landlords, including a federal pension fund, are trying to push up rents by nearly 10 percent, aiming to push them out.

  14. Just heard David McWilliams saying that Vienna's population is up 12% in just 4 years, mostly due to immigration, and still they don't have skyrocketing rents. Why is that?

    Public Housing & Housing Co-ops provide the solution to the Housing Crisis.

  18. That's $2,023,428,000.00 of hard working Kiwi taxes being paid to land lords to cover the inflated rental charges for often substandard accommodation. These people pay $0 to the country in return for that tax funded scam. #RentControls and #CGT #NZPol

  19. #Bristol council asks government for powers to control rents and tackle housing crisis

    The local authority should have the ability to cap how much landlords can increase rents, an expert commission on renting in the city says.
