Fake left evicts and kills loathsome poor

As we know, fake left media epitomised at The Guardian will not, under any circumstances, discuss the primary driver of the rental crisis:

Immigration – because there are many desperate to hate – must be treated with extreme care by politicians and journalists, and certainly with more care than Abbott seems capable. The inherently racist parties will seek to use any discussion and any seeming evidence of the negative impact of migrants as fuel to burn their fires of hate.

Yet, daily, it describes the fallout of its own misshapen fatwa:

Professionals are now filling boarding house rooms that might once have supported people on state pensions or transitioning from correctional facilities.

Darcy Byrne, Inner West mayor said Vajda House epitomises the “disastrous” Sydney rental market.

…Newtown Neighbourhood Centre’s Boarding House Outreach Service publishes a weekly low-cost accommodation list, designed as a resource for those with low purchasing power, including those transitioning from correctional centres and hospitals.

Twelve months ago, it was possible to find accommodation – boarding house or otherwise – for $180-$250 a week in Sydney’s inner west, Macnish said.

“The list was 50 to 60 pages long but in the last few months it’s sometimes seven properties long in total,” she said.

So, The Guardian, what has changed in the last twelve months? Has rental supply suddenly been burned to the ground? Have Australians suddenly multiplied like rabbits?

Or, has the Albanese government detonated the largest quantitative peopling bomb in the nation’s history? With no electoral mandate. No plan. No infrastructure preparation. And no care?

What this is really about is feasting fake left economic parasites:

Big business, unions and university bosses have joined forces to call for radical new solutions to the housing affordability crisis, including a “pattern book” approach to planning that would pre-approve certain designs for use throughout Sydney.

The Housing Now group, to be launched on Monday, has released a manifesto of seven demands it says will assist the state’s quest to build 375,000 homes over five years – the equivalent of building Surry Hills more than 30 times over.

While the evicted poor die in hospital queues:

Internal Ambulance Victoria records obtained by this masthead through freedom of information laws show that ambulance and patient transport crews spent more than 523,000 hours waiting at emergency departments since 2018, delaying their return to the road to help other Victorians.

…They said Victorians with potentially life-threatening conditions were among those stuck in crowded hospital corridors waiting to be admitted, while others had wet themselves on ambulance stretchers due to lengthy delays.

“This is honestly the worst I have seen,” said one paramedic with more than 20 years of experience.

The failure to discuss, let alone condemn, the primary cause of this vandalism of Australian living standards is the only “desperation to hate” in the political economy.

The cultural cringers of the AlboGreens who loath low-income Aussies.
