There is no such thing as "unaffordable housing". There is no
housing sold at a price that no-one can afford to pay, and there
is no housing let at a rent no-one can afford to pay. Even if you
really meant something else - council houses let on immediate
demand to any applicant, for instance - there are plenty of people
who cannot realistically afford to rent a property, pay all the
associated recurring expenses and live on their incomes. So
"affordable housing for all" does not an cnnot mean what its
proponents mean. What they really mean is subsidised, loss-making,
housing. And once you go as far as that, what logical barreier is
there toi the idea of subsidised, loss-making food shops? Pubs?
Restaurants? Holidays? Sky TV?

So you're quite happy for people to live on the streets?

Brimstone once more takes the Non-Sequitur Of The Year Award.

It's the corollary of your suggestion.

No it isn't.

Firstly, I never made any suggestions. I made an observation. Do
learn the difference.

Secondly, to the extent that some wild stab could be made at refining
a "suggestion" out of an observation, yours was the wildest and the
most inaccurate that could have been made.

You were wrong.

Got that?

Have another stab...

Please do realise that:

"There is no such thing as "unaffordable housing"." is not a
suggestion.


What makes you think that's the part of your rant that I was referring to as a suggestion?

"Rant"?

Translation from Bromstonese into English: "Reasonable point to which I have no countervailing argument, but nevertheless don't want to accept".

So... when you said "suggestion", you now claim you didn't mean the observation. OK, perhaps you meant the question (because there are *no suggestions* in what I wrote)?

Let's just go over it one more time in order to any further misunderstandings or misapprehensions on your part... what I wrote contains an *observation* (which you know you cannot controvert, which is why you respond abusively), a conclusion and a *question*. No "suggestions".
