The UK is a small place.
They flooded it with immigrants that breed like rats.
How could there be anything other than a massive rise in the cost of housing?
Maybe immigrants can use diversity to lower housing costs?
If they can’t do it with diversity, I’m sure they could use vibrancy.
RT:
Private rental prices paid by tenants in the UK have jumped by 5.3% in the 12 months leading up to July, marking the largest annual percentage change since records began in 2016, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has shown.
The figure was up from 5.2% in the previous month, with costs consistently increasing over the past two years.
According to the ONS, annual private rental prices surged by 5.2% in England, 6.5% in Wales, and 5.7% in Scotland.
But won’t the island tip over if too many “immigrants” move in?
They’ll just blame it on the “greeeeeeeeeedddddddy, eeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvil” private landlords like they do here in the states.
Move to the Falklands.
We make snide remarks about the UK as if its not happening here?
Why do you think home and rental prices are skyrocketing? 820,000 illegal immigrants have crossed over since January. That is a lot of housing needed. 100,000 people a month.
I think we assume these illegals are all poor. They are not. People are coming across the southern border from many countries.
In our county home prices were just re-evalutated at an increase of 33%. My real estate taxes just increased a thousand dollars a year.
And I’m supposed to point fingers and laugh at the UK?
Same thing happening here, I’ve seen some first hand. Recently one of our neighbors, a couple, who had been renting for approximately 5 years was priced out of their rental. The rent was increased 33% in one year. Initially I though the landlord was insane thinking he could get that much. Then a woman moved in shortly after, and from what I have heard, gets the majority if not all of her rent paid by the government. Our tax dollars are being weaponized against us inflating the price of housing though subsidies. $2800/mo rent is cheap when it’s “free”.
