London Housing
Discussion
They spend decades in hotels b&bs temp accomm whilst the London authorities attempt to rehouse them in social hsg.
If a duty is found to rehouse such persons and a local connection is found, the law is quite clear about an authorities responsibilities. Ultimately it'll just push the poor into London suburbs which are " up coming" to use estate agent chic.
The welfare reform bill is unjust, only needs to apply to London and is socially cleansing the capital.

Simple question. All the flotsam and jetsam financially forced out of the London property market, well where do they go/get put ? Maybe similar observations were made in 30's Germany ?!
Same place the low and middle income workers live, outside of London?If you are talking about people on benefits, then why do they need to live in London? I was born in London, and work in London. Why can't tax payers pay for me to live in London?
They rent
They buy impractically small properties in less desirable areas
They move further out and spend more money and time commuting - and become depressed at the amount of time they spend commuting and the expense of it all
Or they move out of London completely and get jobs elsewhere that pay less but cost of living (and affordability of housing) is much better

Really ? try a council estate or any housing state come to that, a 1/4 of all private housing estates are put aside for housing assosiatons/council, there's loads of us still in London.The dole office now activly offer jobs up country that come with an offer of a council house, bloke next door was offerd a bus driving job in sheffield with a 4 bed council house AND moving costs.

Ah, not being paid to live in one of the world's most profitable and expensive cities while choosing not to work should not be compared glibly to genocide or ethnic cleansing so why don't you p

Good boy. Millions of your flotsam and jetson have by an accident of history found that houses they paid next to nothing for are now very very valuable, and so enjoy a huge financial windfall far in excess of what they ever could have earnt when they decided to sell and retire out to the South Coast, or move and rent there old house out. It's a process called gentrification which has been going on in London ( and other cities ) for decades. And is possibly the only effective example of wealth trickle down I can think of.
As for the low paid service sector, now dominated by Eastern Europeans, they live 10 to a room all over London but those low wages in relative local terms in a few years add up to buying a house back home for them, again hardly a bad deal for them or us.

And when they all go home the remainder will find London's not quite so desirable when there's nobody to collect their bins, serve them in restaurants or look after them in hospital
