HAP pushes up the rent for private renters

But have you any constructive or viable suggestions as to how the problem could might be tackled? Because, with all due respect, hiding behind a wall and throwing custard pies at passing public servants may be cathartic, but it isn't really going to solve anything.

Nope, there’s no easy fix. There’s a global shift in wealth from labour to capital. It’s been going on since the 1970’s but it’s really taken off since the worlds central banks started printing money after the last crash. The post COVID stimulus will probably make it worse. We are a small ship floating in a global ocean. All we can do it run our ship as best we can but our best falls far short of the mark.
it would be a good start if we just acknowledged the problem, recognised that the haves and the have nots are those who own property and those who don’t, not those with high incomes and those on low ones.
