Housing: Immigration Freeze, Not Rent Freeze Required
Since
2017 New Conservative has been calling for net zero
immigration until our housing stocks meet
demand. Immigrants must prove they are financially
independent so they have the means to pay higher rents which
forces those at the bottom of the rent chain to drop
off. You don’t usually invite people to come and
stay when you don’t have a spare bed for them, and
successive governments have allowed immigration to outstrip
housing stocks which has exacerbated the
problem. Limiting immigration reduces demand and so
eases prices. The UN agent's call for a rent freeze
does not address the real issue, and is just another step
towards socialism where the government controls
everything. “The
government should not be surprised at increased rents when
it has forced landlords to spend up large on insulation, and
they will always try get increased return from increased
investment,” says New Conservative leader Leighton
Baker. There are always ways around a rent freeze,
and this is just another demonstration that the elected
government thinks it has rights over personal private
property. With the Government's endorsement of the UN
Migration Compact it's no wonder they don’t want to even
look at the basic cause of the housing issue. New
Conservative. It just makes
sense.
