even a more severe covid would have done the same, say if 2 million pensioners had snuffed it - all those bungalows hitting the market at once

 

Not buying it. Those bungalows would be bought up by The Landlords. Who'd fill them with The Immigrants. Back to square one.

I never used the word steal, occupy is enough. 

Those migrants granted asylum end up in bricks and mortar. Houses and flats occupied by foreign  people. So if a spaceship hoovered up all the foreigners in an ethical and painless way there would be a load of empty properties

 

What about the legal immigrants? (The >> 3000?) The distinction is rarely made in this perpetual discussion. They end up in bricks and mortar too. Does your spaceship have a big enough dust bag for them as well?

Or just the next wave of pensioners. They're probably buying them with living pensioners still in. "Equity release" or something, pitched to dodge inheritance tax. "Stay in your own home..." Writes itself.

in terms of occupied housing the legals are more of a problem, say 200k legal net per year, plus 50k illegal and youve got an extra quarter million people each year to shelter.

Landlords - if we could somehow ethically kill off all the people who rent from them the landlords would become forced sellers

Between the space hoover and DIRTY BOMBING THREADNEEDLE STREET, we've sorted Steve's SEO for the next week or so.

I've just googled a map of central London and "cheap car for sale." That should speed up a slow Wednesday.

Not when the landlords are a fack off hedge fund or the government's bank. They'll sit on empty houses until someone cracks.
