Thanks for this John. Hence, my agitation for blocks of 1/2 bedroom apartments for the most badly housed who do not own a car at High Plateau, Merry Hill SC. Roads and parking space only for visitors, ideally.
I've just been listening to Radio 4's 'Political Thinking' when wealthy Robert Jenrick was interviewed. He did not deny that he has multiple homes. Perhaps, they are all occupied and in use. However, we cannot escape the fact that the rich have two or three homes for themselves, only to use, while the poor and migrants are most disgracefully housed in buildings that must be revamped to make them energy efficient and climate proofed - and, simply, comfortably habitable. A shocking state of affairs in a supposedly civilised country.
In one 'Ask Andy' public meeting, Andy had the honesty to accept that he owned 3.5 homes when a very well informed member of the public challenged him about it. I think he shares one with Michael Fabricant.
The wealthy also live in homes that are far too big, have far too much money and are typical of how I feel that I am so entitled, privileged, fortunate - even living in my one humble home for 48 years, so far.
