Stop destroying our countryside with building & start controlling immigration instead. Legal net migration last year = 745k = 6000 new homes needed/week purely due to mass immigration !

I'm a landlord in Southampton. 25 yrs ago 5% of applicants were from abroad. Now 60% are. Legal net migration 745k last year = 6k homes needed/week? 80% of migrants move into rentals = 5000 extra rentals needed/week? Huge extra...
Reply to the comment left by Mike Thomas at 19/07/2024 - 22:48Which wouldn't solve problem of lack of homes due to mass immigration as landlords don't alter the ratio of homes to population size. Mass immigration does

People who question the merits of absurdly high unsustainable levels of legal net migration, don't blame migrants. They blame irresponsible politicians for not setting a cap on numbers necessary to prevent overburden on housing, infrastructure & our environment etc.
Legal net migration last year = 745k = 6,300 new homes needed/week. 80% of migrants seek out rental property when they arrive = 5,000 additional rental properties needed/week ? = Unprecedented extra demand. Meantime there's a govn't war on landlords...
