Twin Towers WTC v Grenfell Tower

[Beanz]

I thought @Beanz was a huge fan of the NHS but apparently property insurance is just to bourgeois for him

It does not work like that in the UK. In council housing you do not own the property and while you may insure your home for contents, fire and theft the companies will do all they can to avoid paying out anything but the minimum and the rates for covering something like re-homing would probably be astronomical.

Hmmm here I had little trouble collecting money for water damage. Got a new floor in my basement fully paid for. Then the bastards waited a while and dropped me. That was over 10 years without a claim. I then had trouble being accepted by a new place. So you pay not to use it, bastards.

contents ARE property and if you have renters insurance it pays for loss of use ergo my asking "Do they have insurance? "


WOW WOW WOW WOW

[Dark Lord Al]

Of course they will have all had contents insurance , now they wait for the insurance scum to pay up.

Corbyn wants to requisition private/corporate property to house all the people from Grenfell Tower?


Bad move IMO, but hey I believe in private property rights

Would you care to explain that Beanz or shall I gaze into my crystal ball and attempt to summon whatever the fuck you're talking about out of thin air?

No you don't.

You don't because you support people like Trump who hounds people out of their own properties when they refuse to sell.




I know you are desperate to be outraged by anything the left does but THIS IS NOT AMERICA. Corbyn asked the government to consider using compulsory purchase orders for flats in the area that are deliberately kept vacant. (land banking)


What Corbyn actually said was

"But can't we as a society just think, all of us, it's all very well putting our arms around people during the crisis but homelessness is rising, the housing crisis is getting worse and my point was quite a simple one.
"In an emergency, you have to bring all assets to the table in order to deal with that crisis and that's what I think we should be doing in this case."
He questioned why people had been left stranded when airlines are able to find accommodation for delayed travellers.
Mr Corbyn said: "Every day at Heathrow, planes get delayed. Hundreds of people get stranded at airports all over the world.


"Hotels are found for them immediately, they are sorted out.
"400 or so people, still most of them have not got somewhere decent, safe or secure to stay in.
"Somehow or other, it seems to be beyond the wit of the public services to deal with the crisis facing a relatively small number of people in a country of 65 million."

Apparently it has now happened


68 flats have been purchased by the City of London Corporation in a deal brokered by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
The newly built homes are in two affordable housing blocks are on a site where private homes are on offer from £1,575,000 to £8.5 million.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) said the "expectation is that these new properties will be offered as one of the options to permanently rehouse residents from Grenfell Tower".

Oh thank you for providing me so many examples of Trump doing such



So you're FOR eminent domain unsurprising.


Why not use hotels to temporarily house these folks? If the housing is going to be temporary that is.
