Why is owning a house so important:
1. Stability - we can decide to stay in a property. The psychology of empowerment and absence or someone else having the ability to up end your life cannot be overstated
2. Retirement - don't want to spend my pension on rent constantly worried about the threat of moving or rising rents
3. Sentimental items - somewhere to store possessions without worrying about moving and break things
4. Expression - a canvas to surround yourself with beautiful design. Not only interior design (I love it, I once moved into a house that was completely blank. From kitchen to curtains to sofa to tables I bought the lot. Everything fit and flowed. I did it because the landlord said he would never live in it. 9 months after I finished was told to leave.
5. Financial waste - see above. Different houses have different needs. It's not just about throwing stuff in.
6. No landlord rules - be it pets, decorating, adding a bathroom, whatever. We are back to the psychology of empowerment and absence of others rules.
I could go on, but you get the point. TBH, anyone that owns a house and thinks it is OK that others can't is a bit of a khoont.
But you Sat Nav, are a total khoont on this topic.🤣

Good lord JS you’re as bad as arab was.
I never said it wasn’t important. The question was the attraction to communism vs owning your own home.
I never said it was ok for people not to own their own home lol
The problem is that house prices went up an awful lot a long time ago now and we cannot force a reduction. It’s been crazy expensive for first time buyers for nearly 20 years now. The same complaints about house prices were being made ten years ago when the average price was £160k and it’s now what? £240k? Should we drop it back down to £160k and screw over all the first time buyers that bought ten years ago? Obviously not.
I would take not owning a home vs living under communism. I really don’t think there’s anything controversial in saying that lol.

I'll wade in on the Mohammed pics too.
It not illegal in this country, so pipe down loons.
However, considering how offensive it can be, it has no place in schools. Just as a teacher wearing jacket with a Natzi flag on isn't acceptable, or certain language isn't.
Sometimes we shouldn't need laws to know what is and isn't acceptable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree with this. It’s hardly a smart move but I do think that there is a difference in reaction when it comes to Islam for some reason.

We can force a reduction. Cap all rent to 30% of the mortgage cost and any unused property for 2 years goes on the market at auction. Absolutely fecking mental that so many house are empty.
Houses are build to be homes, not investments.
Oh, what's the problem with communism? 😉
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you’re talking about abolishing property rights. Yeah I don’t think that will happen and is totally immoral.

What happens if you own your home but then get posted abroad for 5 years? You get rental income of 30% of your mortgage costs and pay living costs abroad? Yeah that doesn’t work.
What about all the developers who build apartments? All of a sudden they’re selling at an average of £160k but with build costs remaining the same? Yeah that doesn’t work either.
I think the change that should come in should be increasing the maximum length of time for a tenancy. Locks in the rent for longer and allows people to feel more at home than they might now with a 3 year max.

17000.00 kids in detention now at US border now, after Biden and dems said come on over.
And today was Joe's first press conference after how long ???
Are they hiding him away?
He must not have that Irish gift of the gab.
It's ok though, as Harris just laughs when asked about the border crisis.
Two months before your first press conference as POTUS...ok???
Not odd

People won’t appreciate how good Trump actually was for another couple years, trust me he’ll win in a canter in 2024

Isn’t anger seen as a good thing or sign of strength of something in Islam? So you would expect them to be easily offended / look for any reason to throw a hissy fit

Not suggesting it will happen. Just chewing the fat.
Exploiting people to rent forever and pay rent that is equivalent to a mortgage is immoral.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s providing them with an opportunity to live in a home that they don’t have a deposit for.
It’s like leasing cars as opposed to buying cars. There wouldn’t be half as many mercs on the road if leasing wasn’t as rife as it is.

Generally speaking landlords are lower than lawyers. Using people to pay off their mortgage. Utter khoonts.
But given half the chance, I would do the same. 🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not for me unless you have multiple properties otherwise if you have just one you’re always only ever one bad tenant away

We should sell the older social housing stock to its long term residents and use the money raised to build new stock, that way long term renters get the opportunity to own the home they'very paid rent on for years and we build new, less maintenance heavy, homes for younger people....oh wait...
