might need a daft question
Jump to: Newest in thread
More people lived together and there was less net migration (and I am not bashing immigrants here) - so its two fold, lots of single people living alone, and the resident population the country has increased. |

In my area they do things like knock down 5 detached bungalows and build 30 homes. Or two detached houses and build 20 .. On the main road they knock down one house and build 10 flats.. no extra parking of course  They seem to be using a shoehorn to get everyone in. |

Loads of empty houses about that are owned, so unless the owner sells them or rents them out then they will remain empty.
700,000 million empty in the UK, according to shelter last year. |

Was just saying that's probably where people used to live, tbh it probably wasn't even the right answer anyway, although might be partially correct.
Immigrants might be a part of lack of housing, not sure because idk how many live in each property.
Nuclear families has contributed to housing shortage for sure. One time we had 15 people crammed into houses, now we expect a house to be for 3 or 4 people at the most, and bigger houses to be built for bigger families.
Loads contributes to the housing shortage. |

True
When I was a kid you shared a bedroom now kids are supposed to have a bedroom each
So lots of small council properties remain empty as everyone wants 3 and 4 bedroomed houses, even if you were prepared to accept a 2 bedroomed house off the council if you have more than one child they won't give not you |

I waited years for a 3 bed, then went to view it and the woman showing it to me asked about my kids, i said i had 4 and she said why not wait for one of our 4 beds...i was like no! Didn't want to go back to the bottom of the list. It's not that cramped tbh, got bunkbeds and small wardrobes and not a lot of possessions.
My best mate has 5 kids and was told she'd have to wait 15 years for a 4 bedroom, her kids would have left home by then.
Totally get what you mean though, it's illegal to overcrowd a social housing house so people have to wait or remain in too small private properties, might as well house them in a cheaper too small social home really. |

The council round here just makes no sence
My daughters frield is a single mum with two kids applied for a two bed flat and told no as it would be classed as over crouded
Yet they they put a couple with one child in two bedroomed properties
So two adults and one kid is fine but one adult and two kids is classed as over crouded, yet they was happy to leave her in a one room hostle because it perfectly OK for three people to live in one room but a two bed flat is to small 
Go figure  |

Seen something that here a couple of times too. Pregnant girls shoved in a 3 bedroom houses while families with 3 kids were left waiting. Sometimes i think they do it to piss people off... 
Well look at us, trying to solve the housing crisis. |
