Universal basic income is one approach to the possible risk of mass job losses after automation. Depending how that pans out it might not be too mad an idea.

That's not the reason or if it is it's only part of it, the real reason for the housing crisis is because we've let so much of London be sold of to the highest bidder, tax evaders, despots, organised crime, drug dealers and other **** of the earth mixing with foreign investors buying up every new development before locals even hear about it, meaning locals get pushed further out into the suburbs pushing the prices up there to. Now London is done they're moving on to other big cities like Sheffield and Manchester and the same will happen there to.
I'm sick of all these poxy government schemes, they should call them scams, the latest one is to sell of the help to buy loan book, all those people that thought they were talking a loan from the government are about to be delivered into the arms of bankers. Where does all this money go to as well, it just drains away, the little people never see the benefit.
