Putting the homeless into homes isn't easy. Many of the people refuse to be housed and those that are tend to wreck the place in short order, so funds would be needed to rework them back to a habitable standard every 12 months or so.
Looking for a normal solution is fatuous - these poor souls are anything but normal, having tumbled down through society to the very bottom of the pile. Many of them would be in what used to be known as mental hospitals if we still had them and most of the rest have severe drugs and alcohol problems. Housing isn't the cause, it's just one of the effects.

Talbot has thanked you for the link.

Sorry to hear you may lose your home, is there chance of an appeal?

OG is understandably against CT hikes on empty properties as he has one.


We often tend to look at these things from our own personal viewpoint.

//Nailit, what might cause you to lose your home?//
never ceases to amaze me how out of touch people are as regards modern politics and their agenda .No disrespect to you Jackdaw.

[Mamyalynne]

A benefit knockback?

[-Talbot-]

I have had empty houses myself, Mamya. I couldn't, however, afford to keep them empty. If you can afford to keep them empty you can afford a council tax hike.

Keeping houses empty should be discouraged imo.

Talking from EXPERIENCE. Your all talking absolute cobblers.
Stay in dreamland!

[Mamyalynne]

It's very complex I know and no one answer will sit well with everyone.

[Jackdaw33]

No, I am genuinely curious. If it is for financial reasons then there is always Housing and Council tax benefit. I cannot see the council deliberately making you homeless.

[Baldric]

You brought it up @ 20:48, so why not just answer the question as Talbot did with yours?

[-Talbot-]

What exactly is the 'cobblers' about what I have posted nailit?

[Mamyalynne]

We're all (yes all) talking cobblers? Well that's us told isn't it.

[nailit]

Baldric, //You brought it up @ 20:48,//
//insistent Talbot? Merely asked.
//Why do you often think there is a problem? //
Could be something to do with the fact that I may sleeping under a car park again soon//
//so why not just answer the question as Talbot did with yours?//
which question is that?

[Baldric]

I'm guessing the Wagon is driverless again tonight by the look of it.

[NoMercy]

Corbyn is the Messiah!

He's going to give every homeless person in the land a home.

He's going to wipe out student debt.

He's going to allow endless immigration.

And we're all going to live happily ever after

Amen.

[Jackdaw33]

'Cobblers' seems a fairly innocuous word but it is actually derived from a rather rude phrase in Cockney rhyming slang. TTT would know it.

//I'm guessing the Wagon is driverless again tonight by the look of it//
Standard AB cop out,

[Baldric]

The ability to look back at your own posts especially when given a time for it may have saved a little unpleasantness but whatever.

///Could be something to do with the fact that I may sleeping under a car park again soon.///

[nailit]

EH? ^^

[nailit]

Please answer me Baldric, which question of Talbots have I failed to answer?
Its not difficult.

[Baldric]

I rest my case.
