"Isn’t it better for a child to grow up in a happy home with one parent, than an acrimonious home with two?" Why does it need to be acrimonious? It seems people leave relationships at the least problem- if you have kids you have responsibility to bring them up | |||

Reasonable to infer they are not happy living together. | |||

"I’m just saying that people aren’t prepared to put the work in " How do you know how hard any couple has worked, before the relationship breaks down? If there are children, decisions need to be taken in their best interests and not the parents. It is better they are brought up in a happy home than an unhappy one. | |||

"I’m just saying that people aren’t prepared to put the work in How do you know how hard any couple has worked, before the relationship breaks down? If there are children, decisions need to be taken in their best interests and not the parents. From my experience, it appears that many couples aren’t prepared to accept their responsibilities and guys disappear at the first opportunity It is better they are brought up in a happy home than an unhappy one." | |||

"The great unsaid problem of the housing crisis is the rise of one parent families. A couple are together and they have a child, the guy (and it’s usually the guy) then leaves so he needs accommodation now. It’s a recent phenomenon - do people not have staying power in relationships anymore ? " Do people over the age of 60 all think that if people were just like them when they were younger everything would be just fine? Have they not realised the world was fucking mental then too but that they just didn’t see it as they didn’t have enough time to sit around finding reasons to talk nonsense? | |||

That's the problem. | |||

"Isn’t it better for a child to grow up in a happy home with one parent, than an acrimonious home with two?" Yes, of course but growing up with both parents is better still. Not an easy square to circle but the divorce laws being weighted heavily in favour of the woman and the default assumption that the mother will be the primary carer needs to be addressed before any positive changes can happen. It's too easy for a woman to claim domestic abuse without any evidence and have the husband removed from the family house and prevent him from seeing the kids. I know 2 work colleagues who have had that happen in the last 5 years. The social services and police just rubber-stamped everything the woman said. | |||

"Silly question but could the housing shortage have anything to do with our ever expanding population? Just asking. " Local and national government used to be quite good at predicting demographic changes. More houses needed there, fewer hospital beds over here etc. They would invest in building houses where shortages were expected. Then someone called Thatcher decided public ownership of housing was a bad thing, sold it off for a song and decided to leave housing in the hands of the market. The market likes increasing demand for a limited supply because it pushes up the prices and their profits, | |||

" There are men on this site who are perpetrators of domestic abuse against women, they won't come forward and admit to it but statistically there are abusers on Fabguys. The victims of domestic abuse need courage and support to leave an abusive relationship, they may be coerced into staying through fear, entrapment and escalating abuse. Without support they remain trapped. I work with survivors of abuse, the vast majority are women with an abusive male partner but it happens in same sex relationships and on occasions men with a female abuser. To blame couples splitting causing a housing crisis is dog whistle misogamist ignorance. As SaraJevo said the mass privatisation of social housing has led to the housing crisis | |||

"The pressure on housing was caused by deregulation of how much could be borrowed to buy a home. It used to be 3.5 times joint income or 5 times single income to get a mortgage and that was it. That disappeared so prices soared and two incomes required to buy a home now putting pressuee on families and relationships. Then there's childcare costs for working parents resulting in why bother and lower birth rates. " You are in serious danger of bringing sense into the discussion! | |||

"Silly question but could the housing shortage have anything to do with our ever expanding population? Just asking. How could several million more people in the country possibly cause a housing problem." It doesn’t have to, many countries manage to deal with growing populations. But those countries treat homes as homes, not as investment portfolios. These countries treat tenants like humans. In this country we have a housing crisis… Hmm | |||

"There’s more housing in the Uk than ever; if the population stayed the same the problem would disappear with a few small additions not 1.5 million " Your essentially arguing for people to stop getting older, life to pause so the housing market can catch up? Countries are like massive ponsy schemes you need ever growing population to pay the pension, and taxes for the ever growing number of retirees and with a below stable birth rate you have to import your growth. Only Sub-Saharan African countries have an above replacement birth rate. All this hostility both legislative and within our own population is counter intuitive to what were storing in the future. It's more immigration we need not less. But we do need a better narrative for population and a government that builds the infrastructure needed for our future population. | |||

When there was predominantly one wage earner to a household then house prices was roughly three times income. When there was predominantly two wage earners then house price rose to three times joint income. But now that housing is viewed as an investment, the wage multiple increased leading to a rise in house prices. That is it in very simplistic terms. | |||
