'We're trapped': Homelessness rises among working people in England | ITV News

I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $50,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God*

The root of the problem is that houses are seen as investments, not homes for people. Until that changes, nothing will improve.

You know there is something systematically wrong when people working full time cannot afford home.

I was at the gas station and noticed a car full of belongings and a lady with her dog. I gave her $20 and she just started bawling and was extremely grateful. When I was in my 20’s I was homeless for 2 months and lived in my car. I know how it feels to be in that situation.

And they wonder why people aren't having children! We can't even live

The government is a disgrace. How can hardworking people be left homeless. The government should be ashamed of themselves. The government need to start treating hardworking people with respect

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

Housing shouldn't be a competitive market, people like Nicole need an affordable house. It's insane.

Everyone is saying move out of London.. the problem isn’t just in London.. it’s everywhere!

it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.

People need to realize its the government, councils, and greedy landlords are the problem. Its not down to people not working and/or being lazy. Everyone deserves to have a place to call home.

Housing is a basic human need. If you work full time and still can’t afford it, then what is the point in going to work knowing it isn’t going to be enough for even the rent? Never mind having enough for small luxuries.

This government does not care about it's own people shameful

Our previous landlady told us she wanted to live in the property, then the 2 faced woman let it out again, we were paying £925, it's been relet for £1,400, absolutely disgusting 😡😡

I'm 58 years old and really feel sorry for these young people who are struggling to make it today's economy. Most of them will never know the good life. I can understand why birth rates are falling all over the world. I certainly wouldn't bring a child into this world nowadays.

Same thing happening in Australia. Forget neoliberalism, this is neo-feudalism.

This is happening all over the world. In Toronto, Canada where I live, a one bedroom apartment is $2500-3000/a month. The fact that there is very little affordable housing for lower middle, working class and folks at or below the poverty line in so many countries is criminal. I am a supply teacher and make a decent living, and I can't get an apartment to save my life. I now live in a room in a condo sharing with a couple and their baby, paying 40% more than my original rent. I was evicted, to no fault of my own, by my landlord because they want more money for my studio apartment.

The incompetence and corruption that runs through this administration are getting more ridiculous. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserved. Thank you Arleth Toledo, imagine investing $1000 and receiving $4,300 in a few days

This problem is sadly happening all over the world in the last year and a half , the cost of purchasing a property or renting is insane the governments need to act QUICKLY.... From Australia
