Brisl had trams 100 years ago they even went up Park street all the way up White Ladies Rd to Black Boy Hill !

Milan

And so they did in Bath too.

All the way up the Wells Road to the Bear Flat and on up to Odd Down.

Now, Black Boy Hill - I'm amazed that the very many SJWs who live in Bristol haven't campaigned to get that name changed.

I believe the Black Boy thing is something to do with chimney sweeps. Not that such a fact would stop them from sticking their meddling fingers in.

can you imagine the boost 1million news homes being built would bring to the economy

all those jobs

all those jobs making the stuff that makes the houses

all those jobs making the stuff to fill the houses

More houses therefore diluting the pool and bringing prices down and making home ownership which shouldn't be a privilege but should be every hard working family's right more accessible

Boomed

Milan.

How about investment into infrastructure projects that would actually make our lives better?

Like tram/metro systems in our big cities (*cough* Bristol *cough*) .

To borrow some logic from the greenies, building more houses will just mean more people will come and, yes, the economy will forge ever upwards but our lives will get more miserable. Well, mine will anyway.

exactly, the more accommodation we can build the more people we can bring in, the more prosperous and competitive the country will become

we need to get away from this mentality of the small houses with a little garden and build more high rise communities

the goal should be something like hong kong

Milan.

I like my big houses with big gardens. Screw a society of souless high rise existence, I'm out.

Thank Allah Corbyn hasn't a chance in hell.

Home ownership shouldn't be a right. It's a choice. However, it is a choice out of reach for many people who want to own their home.

Affordable housing should be a universal right. To have a safe roof over your head should be something within everyone's reach.

The rules on stamp duty for renters is something fundamentally against this right. Especially in high cost areas, such as London, you can quite quickly hit the £125k limit and then you're forced to move from somewhere you've settled quite nicely, or pay stamp duty on a property you don't own. i don't see many people complaining about that little nugget of stealth tax.

Why stop at 1 million. Let's build 1 billion houses, jobs for everyone, forever!

The point is, if somebody has a job, and can afford to pay rent, they should be allowed to get a mortgage on a similar property where the mortgage payments will be the same or less than the rent they pay now

In this situation, where the person can prove with evidence that they have paid rent for a period of time then they should be allowed to take a 100% mortgage, because if they can pay the rent then they can pay the mortgage

And why should they be stopped from borrowing, if the rent % of their income is preventing them from saving a deposit for a mortgage, they're stuck in a trap but are good payers in a god job, why should they be punished ?

That's the injustice.

all the more reason to vote Jeremy at the next election and hope he immediately implements his policy to build 1million houses

.

Is the one million per hour, day or week?

And will he make them from solidified socialist milk, from the breasts of hammer and sickle wielding super women?

this is needed more than ever, owning the roof over your head should be a right and not for the privileged few, and accessibility to owning a home, ie house prices is only going to become more accessible by building millions of homes and get rid of the supply imbalance

Milan.

That would only take prices back to 2014/5 levels around the areas I look at.

Yeah same for me - it's really depressing seeing someone try to sell me a house for 50% more than they bought it for 18 months ago

The Likes of Foxtons are getting hit by the online estate agents, the amount of boards up now for the likes of Purple bricks and Tepilo round my way where once you only saw the local estate agents signs

A real fecking shame

Went through Foxtons to rent once, they tried to keep my deposit.

Too me nearly a year, but I got it back in full.
I don't think they liked to be written to, sometimes 3 times a week during that time
