Children Forced To Live In Shipping Containers.

https:/
I my day (the days before pills of contraception, benefits, food banks and free meals)we didn't go in for children before we had a roof over our heads and could also afford to keep them.
Now we hear of parents unable to feed their children while they are on holiday and therefore not available for free meals.
What must be addressed is why they continue to have children when they can't house them or even feed them?
And of course Mass Immigration is never highlighted as a reason for lack of housing, is it?

/// Glad of pre-fab housing in your day, AOG. ///
Never lived in one but yes they were not bad they even had fridges, when most houses never had one.
Due to the lack of housing I would have thought that factory manufactured sections and put together on site would be a cheap and fast way to increase our housing stocks.
Why they ever build houses by putting one small brick on top of another, I just don't know.

It's what happens when there is no policy to get the size of the population down to manageable levels. Folk given child benefit, no encouragement for restraint in producing offspring, net immigration with targets not for zero nor minus but a massive annual input which isn't even achieved. If you fail as a government to plan, then you plan to fail.
Meanwhile, despite not being ideal accommodation, it's working for now, and means those folk aren't homeless.
And that's before discussing whether folk got into that position by bad luck or irresponsibility.

There's no doubt that post war prefabs did a good job and many lasted well beyond their intended lifespan and some even won design awards.
Lots had 2 bedrooms . some had 3
and some more for larger families.
Unless these storage containers are knocked together/extended and designed for housing, they are a poor substitute - most especially for children.

I dont see a problem, thses are converted containers - insulated and equipped. This sort of accommodation should be used for the newcomers and those that make the rock and roll their living rather than them jumping the housing list over the local working inhabitants. Might just put a few off.
"Is this thread about poor housing conditions or slagging off foreigners?"
No, it's more about getting your wn population house first, then maybe helping a few true asylum seekers rahter than bringing in the Worlds poor and paying for them over and above the indigenous population.

Although the snowfakes amongst us would wish us not to bring foreigners into the debate, they are part of the problem regarding the housing shortage, so in that context they are not immune from being included.

as was mentioned, they could build prefab houses, but it's a buyers market..poor low paid dont count, the technology is there.

Now there is a surprise, but then I didn't expect you to admit that you did.
"My pet subject"??? It would seem that I cannot claim it as mine alone, since the subject attracts the attention of a good number of fellow ABers.
One could say that the subject is even more popular than your own pet subject, Night Night Song From Mamya♥.

What relevance does any of than answer have to your own thread aog? Do try stay on track for your own sake.
I'm under the impression many people fleeing their country are trying to escape war and poverty... Maybe these people use to have a roof over their head, but they do no more, meaning they have to try find one.
