Isn’t It Time To Convert Buckingham Palace To a Homeless Shelter?
A radical solution to Britain’s homelessness crisis.
London is in the grips of a major homelessness crisis.
Scratch that.
The United Kingdom is in the grips of a major homelessness crisis.
Over the course of the last 13 years, we have seen the absolute immiseration of millions of people in and around the country.
We have had the austerity cuts, bedroom tax, Brexit, the pandemic, the explosion in energy bills and a cost of living crisis.
For Gen Zs and millennials, this is the worst possible time to exist; these are quite possibly first generation of Brits, who are worse off on every metric than their parents.
And the supreme paradox here is that there are many luxury apartments in the capital city of the UK, which are completely empty.
Of course we know that these properties were purchased by nameless, faceless folks who’ve chosen to launder their money in the United Kingdom.
These Russian and Nigerian oligarchs have unwittingly driven up the cost of properties thus making it near impossible for the younger generation to rent or dream of buying their own house in their lifetime.
