Because the poor can't even afford a run down house.
They aren't good enough to house refegees then why should tax payers have to pay for them.

"Latest Government data suggests that there are over 200,000 homes
that have been empty for over six months."

So ask yourself why they are empty, why don't you buy one or two then ?

Why did the car clean from Poland rather than buy a coffee buy a house and do it up, why didnl;t the local concil do them out and rent them out for a profit or even at cost they were sellign for £1 each rememeber.


First who has £40k to spend on a property in the 1st year before even being able to move in ?




That might take the edge off at least?

How few mortage lenders wouldn't lend you even the £1 it costs to buy them.


But hey, many of the migrant workers who have come here to work ,

for a £1 they do could own a home fo their own so why didn't they ?
Perhaps they have more sense than you, which wouldn't be hard to imagine.

But it does make me wonder why builders or housing co-ops didn't buy them..

When houses are sold for £1 it's conditional on the new owner spending a fortune on them.
