7. Why should the other 50% pay more? This is what I am uneasy about - if you work hard, live a modest life to save for a place to live, sacrificing hobbies, socialising, happier life in general and then you have other half who just don't care because they think they should receive everything from the state.
This is extremely demotivating and make people question whether they were correct about saving and making sacrifice. I personally know people who became homeless on purpose as they found they could get a house much quicker this way rather than through working their bottoms off.
Don't get me wrong - there are people who genuinely need help and I wholeheartedly support that, but I don't think the number is 50%.
- chakhs 6y agoor change rules for social housing to something like singapore. anyone who doesn't already own a house is illegible to buy a social housing unit (paid as rent). but it requires huge investments. I also don't want to work my ass off just to end up paying the same % of my salary to the landlord.
