I think us landlords are getting enough stick in mainstream media that some stick on a watch forum is water off a ducks back.
I don’t see why watch enthusiasts, or landlords, can’t have a social conscience or have moderate or left leaning political views.
I presented some data and views in post #1950 but seems that didn’t generate much response.
You are half right highlighting the failings in social housing as detailed in post #1950. Rent control however would be a disaster for tenants, when governments try price controls the only thing guaranteed is a shortage of supply.
I think we all want a fair society but may have different views on what fair means. I think all should have the same opportunities to build a lifestyle to their liking. That means access to education and opportunities to work and succeed. I also want a society where there is a safety net to catch and support people unable to support themselves through no fault of their own.
Property in the UK is a massive challenge for young people. That’s a political failing as highlighted in #1950, directing frustration at landlords is missing the target.
… and by the way below is the latest data. It’s obviously 2 months behind. This line needs to get to £200k for the 30% prediction to be correct. Long way to go.
