    getting covid all tangled up with the housing crisis ------- merely IMO, takes away from the focus where it should be -------

    on the housing crisis ----------- which was coming way way way way way way before Covid ever hit the news

    This was well before Covid -------------

    hmmmm - I think we do have a crisis coming - a real crisis of massive social proportion - but, probably not the one we have been expecting.


    What I see is that if we keep up the immigration rates ----- then, along with the latest findings about dodgy bank practices - and the absolute clamping down on lending practices resulting from that - along with thing like the clampdown on interest only loans -

    what we will have is less people being able to get mortgages --


    which might result in some price correction -but, by far - by a country mile will have massive implications on the rental scene.


    What we will end up with from what I can see is massive rental demand - massive rental price rises and probably massive rises in homelessness

    How governments respond to that will be anyone's guess - given their ineptitude in the area of crystal ball gazing and putting in place mechanisms that can only be described as childish folly.''
