Can’t remember Boggers being militantly anti-Landlordism. Monbiot has been saying the same thing for years too. Building ever more houses is completely mental; there are loads already. |  |

He suggested people should take advantage of houses in, say, Burnley if they couldn't afford to live in the South. Which, I think points to one large flaw, in the case that we don't need more housing is that demand isn't anywhere closer to matching existing housing stock. This thread is more convincing on the problem: How to solve it is more difficult given large scale transfers of wealth and infrastructure spending of any kind (except roads) seems to be out of the question in this country these days. |  |

There are loads of houses in the UK on 14:15 - Mar 19 with 1775 views | DanTheMan | I'm afraid there isn't Chico. The easiest way to look at this is by looking at the vacant dwellings as a percentage of all dwellings. When looking at it that way we have one of the lowest among OECD countries. The latest figures I can find are from 2020 but I cannot imagine it has changed drastically since then. We're at 2.7% and then you look at even some of the worse performers in the OECD like France or Germany, which are hovering around 8%. That is a massive difference. We probably need more medium-density housing in places where jobs are. |  |

Demand for cowboy jokes is on the Wayne, apparently. |  |

Also very disappointing that few ride horses now, generally seen swanning around in their Haudies... |  |
