Here is my proposal for international womens' day:
A private right to buy.

If you are renting a place, your rent becomes a charge against the property. On sale the landlord has to give you the rent money you paid. There would be an exception for work done maintaining or improving the place. This would be the (agreed) cost of the work with a multiplier to take account of the landlords time. The effect would be that the landlord would be paid for the work of providing the home and benefit from any capital gain to compensate for the landlord's risk. The risk being that the work done on the house is greater than the rent paid.

Why a proposal for international women's day? Because women are more likely to be doing care labour. They are less likely to be able to afford to buy a house and so are most effected by the awful scam that is rent.

Landlords will be like:
"Cosy tiny house, amazing views, air condition, €400,- per week"

Jeff Bezos looked at skyrocketing housing prices and thought: “more landlords!”.

His "arrived.com" turns the housing crisis into a game of Monopoly for the rich and wannabe landlords. Expanding landlordism to the masses and inflating housing prices even more.

Housing shouldn’t be a profit machine.

"eliminate minimum #parking requirements for certain transit-oriented developments, according to the release, and promote mixed-use development around key stations, and give the state more authority over the development of land adjacent to #transit."

Better for the #environment , cheaper #rent . A counter-argument was that more apartments would lower property value for home-owners, but #housing should be something you live in, not invest in.

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about what it will mean for people like us.

(🌎) [EN] 🏠✊ Housing is becoming increasingly inaccessible: prices are rising faster than wages and many households spend over 40% of their income on rent. Mass mobilizations and sustained social pressure are necessary to secure fair public policies that guarantee decent housing for everyone.
