"Labour is pledging to provide 8,000 homes "immediately" to house people with a history of rough sleeping, should it win power. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said they would also help councils "take over" properties kept empty deliberately Should Empty properties be taken over and used to accommodate the homeless and people on long waiting lists? " A more important question, when are you going to reconnect with reality? | |||

" A party spokesman clarified that the 8,000 properties would not be bought using compulsory purchase powers but would be acquired by "immediately striking a deal" with housing associations to free them up as they fell vacant. They would then be replaced by new properties to be built under Labour's pledged house building programme | |||

" Of course people are concerned with the legality of it, the rule of law has to be respected and followed in this country. I'm not surprised you're not concerned about the legal aspect to it though seeing as you're a self confessed car thief and arsonist (comments you've openly made about yourself on the politics forum before). What kind of message do you think it would send if Corbyn got into power and started to break the law with his policies? | |||

Foreign property investors have driven up house prices to the detriment of all in society. However, whilst Councils already have the power through EDMOs to take possession, it would be counter productive if smart Foreign Investors and their lawyers, could and would circumnavigate the whole process. If EDMOs need to be strengthened, then so be it. | |||

"I would tax all second homes so high that it's not financially viable. "I’d be worried about the consequences here. Take the demand out of the housing market and prices will fall. Lower prices equals higher LTV ratios. And so mortgage interest rates go up. Increase in defaults. Properties flood the market. Prices go down. In a deflationary market who risks buying and going into negative equity ? Bubble bust. | |||

"I would tax all second homes so high that it's not financially viable.
Why is that? whats wrong with a 2nd home"Second homes drive up the price of property for the working class.Both of my neighbours are second home owners.Its especially a problem in rural locations and in coastal communities or any place that's considered a holiday destination.Second home owners destroy communities and locals can no longer afford to live in places they were born.Id put 80 % inheritance tax on them. | |||

"former SAS soldier who participated in the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege has revealed he is unable to get a council house despite one of the terrorists living in taxpayer-funded accommodation. Bob Curry, who served in the Special Air Service for 16 years has said he’s been forced to sell his medals and sleep on his daughter's sofa after Herefordshire Council was unable to find him a home. . Meanwhile Fowzi Nejad, 61, the only terrorist to survive the siege, cannot be sent back to Iran because of human rights laws so instead lives in Peckham, south London. Nejad spent 28 years in jail before he became eligible for parole three years ago. It is reported that he is now living rent free. When asked about Nejad, the army veteran said: “As far as I'm concerned he should still be in prison. He murdered people in this country.” . A spokesman for Herefordshire Council said: "Herefordshire Council can confirm that it is actively working with this individual to secure accommodation within the county" ...Glad you mentioned Bob Curry on here..We attended a Gala dinner last Saturday and the room donated £2.000 for this Heroe. | |||

Bob Curry ran a business for some years after he left the forces, which then went bust, bankrupting him and thus leaving him homeless. | |||

"There are more imaginative ways to do the same thing and the answer really can come from the local councils - tax and planning departments. Primary residences can easily be differentiated from secondary residences and can also be differentiated from “overseas” investor owners.

"Why home the homeless,surely we should house families first and not the street people. Also it is not a vote winner as the homeless will not be voting and the people that do vote do so for there own self interest in most cases." Jesus Christ - and the strong will do what they must and the weak must suffer what they will, much? For the record it costs the state 3 times as much to keep a person alive when homeless or rough sleeping - according to American studies, this excludes donations from donor only charities. So quite frankly from an economically conservative point of view its worth it money wise getting people off the streets, never mind the ethics. | |||

"did not see the last labour gov do much for the homeless....fake news and dreaming....old jezza just kicking out more crap to keep him on our screens...keep he red flag flying " There was a downward trend in homeless figures reaching a low of 40,000 at the end of 2009. Since the 2010 election, homeless figures increased every year and at the end of 2017 there were 300,000. So in fact the last Labour Government was effectively reducing homelessness, but that all changed in 2010. | |||

Primary residences can easily be differentiated from secondary residences and can also be differentiated from “overseas” investor owners. The planning departments can nominate residency restrictions on holiday homes (indeed some already do). This separates holiday homes from primary residences. I believe also that at least one slake District Vouncil proposed, or even enacted a local covenant on all residential properties that buyers had to have permanently lived within that or an adjacent council boundary for the last X years."Agreed, taxes arent always the answer but really do neeed a national policy to ensure all houses are being used for active residency by those who are contributing here. You want a holiday home, maybe you then need to pay more tax on, unless you are running it as an enterprise which is putting an assessable amount back into the local economy I do think I still find it attrocious that all that tax payer money for council housing has manifested itself as property for private letting property. | |||
