Fake left housing jihad slays youth, vulnerable

The home the fake left, The Guardian, exists in a permanent state of pearl-grabbing paralysis inside an ivory tower of ersatz purity.

As we know, the paper point blank refuses to address the primary driver of the house price and residential rental crisis, operating under the appalling rubric of Greg Jericho:

Immigration – because there are many desperate to hate – must be treated with extreme care by politicians and journalists…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.

As a direct result, the paper flip-flops over the consequences of its own failure to communicate.

The terrible dog boxes:

“It was like living in a tiny, geometric, sterile shoebox,” says Ben Glasson, a 46-year-old Melbourne academic who moved into a 28-square metre Melbourne city fringe apartment in October 2020.

“It was a very intense experience – you felt completely locked in, in terms of the architecture.”

Glasson says that although his unit block conformed to Victorian building laws that allow micro-apartments, he found the dwelling unliveable because of its size and poor ventilation – and had to break the lease.

The terrible lack of supply:

The spokesperson for Everybody’s Home, Maiy Azize, said the tight rental availability is squeezing renters and underscores the urgent need for more affordable homes.

“Australia has built over a million new homes over the last decade – but these numbers show that the homes aren’t getting to the people who need them,” she said.

“Australia needs 500,000 homes to end our social housing shortfall, and stop renters from being at the mercy of a volatile market.”

Yet, not one mention is made of the ONLY solution that will fix the crisis: slash, cut, freeze immigration.

The consequences are a disaster for the demographic that the paper purports to represent, progressive and economically vulnerable Australians.

They are impoverished and made homeless as the paper becomes the loud-mouthed, useful idiot of ravening capital.

Now that is hateful.
