Should billionaires and multinationals pay fair tax?

[Brigadier]

I wouldn't bother, they can't grasp the basic economics around this subject.

What? Lining your pockets?

 

[Brigadier]

but the value of their home being worth less means they will want to spend less on those services.

It's all about the numbers for you, isn't it?

 

[noseall]

I wouldn't bother,

Not enough profit in it, eh?

Here's a wild idea: the country, for a start.
We did it after WWII, when we were poor as p!zz.

Do it enough, and reduce the prices of the much of the rest of the housing stock.

except it didn't - home ownership was less in the 60s than today

It's all about the numbers for you, isn't it?

I'm trying to understand how you will get people to:
1 - build a house that will fall in value
2 - buy a house that will fall in value
because you "advocate the building of thousands...millions of homes so that the bottom falls out of the market".

nope - I rent my property at below market value.

I value a good reliable tenant above squeezing every penny.

I'm happy for prices to remain static for a couple of decades so that wages can catch up.

It's not solely about ownership; it is about affordability (be that renting, or buying).

If the country is building for people to live in them, it is no more relevant that profiteering from clean water.

If you're buying to live it, it is not relevant.

How are we going to achieve static prices for 20 years?

Do you think the average property, in mortgage terms, should be no more than 3x average salary? So £105k to buy?

That didn't work very well tough did it, concrete prefabs that you cant get a mortgage on now or RAK

We could start by building more homes, or give it a shot at least.

Still being bought and sold today, incredibly.

I'll ask you the same question, do you think the average home should be priced at no more than 3x average salary?

Or less?

As a roughtimate, is there anything wrong with that?

Apart from your "business model", that is......
