Partly yes... this housing problem isn't there since yesterday.
Of course it puts more pressure on your housing...
but is it a migration problem or is it a housing problem?
Stop letting immigrants in and you'll still have a housing problem.... remove them all and you will still have a housing problem... Immigrants only expose your housing problem more... but in the core you have a housing problem....
Your problem isn't available land... (your countryside was allready doomed the minute the UK kicked in the Industrial Revolution... do you want growth or do you want a countryside?).... The problem also isn't a working force to build them...
I think there are people enough looking for a job.
I have a friend who tried to develop real estate in Britain 8 years ago.
After 2 years and a lot of money down the toilet he simply gave up...
It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to build something in the UK...
It's perverted and disgusting to see how housing-markets all across Europe are being manipulated... Do you think it's normal that at least 2/3 of once income goes to the payment for the roof over his/her fucking head? A roof over your head.... a fucking basic need of living! As long as some people are making big bucks from that basic need... there will be a housing problem. The buble is allready starting to grow again.
What is the biggest part of spending of a family's monthly net income? Yes... the payment for the house... Not the EU is fucking with people's spendable income... it are the people who gain from shortage.
