It's bloody Bob Crow!
All because of him, his wife and daughter, there are 14,000 families on the waiting list in his area! The complete and utter heartless bastard!
If he'd only move out, that'd get it down to a manageable 13,999, which is a sort of tipping point and the rest of the problem would sort itself out. There'd be no need for the government to build another single unit. Ever.
The downside of him moving to somewhere more commensurate with his salary would be that he'd price all the high earners out of the market in the same way as he has condemned 14,000 families to eternity on the waiting list.
The fact that he pays nearly £100,000 a year in taxes and rent to the government, sufficient to build one new home per year, and the fact that he didn't cash in on Right-to-buy and/or Buy-to-let (aka Right-to-let) and has not made a single penny in untaxed windfall land price gains over the past ten years is completely lost on the Homeys at The Sun and The Mail.
