Two minute video at the link. Privately owned properties are being compulsorily purchased by the gov't to house migrants.

The title isn't a title as such.

“Tories and Labour asleep at the wheel”

They’re wide awake and directing this.

The US version of conservatism is ‘a bit too rough at its edges’ for the UK*.

So now they’re getting tossed out of THEIR HOMES and on to the street, or wherever.

*and, for that matter, the NeverTrumpers also.

Hubby and I were discussing just this subject yesterday. There was a NYTimes article discussing tiny houses and in talked about the fact that there are retired couples living alone in homes built for large families. The author bemoaned that fact as he compared it to young couples with several children who can’t afford a home.

The inference was that it was so unfair and the retired couple, who had worked hard and sacrificed to pay for the security of their paid-for home when they retired, should give that up for the younger families.

I don’t normally read the Times but came to the article from a link at Citizen Free Press.

https://1ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2024%2F02%2F17%2Fbusiness%2Feconomy%2Fthe-great-compression.html

“The Great Compression”

“Thanks to soaring housing prices, the era of the 400-square-foot subdivision house is upon us.”

(At the rate we are going, they are soon going to outlaw retired couples living in homes that are more than 1000 sq ft. Especially with all the illegal aliens with large families needing those homes.)

From the article:

“This has created a mismatched market in which members of the Baby Boom generation are disproportionately living in larger homes without children, while many millennial couples with children are cramped into smaller houses or in rental apartments, struggling to buy their first home.”

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”
