#second homes
No but seriously, owning more than one property makes you morally bankrupt. Owning a second property and leaving it empty most of the year whilst people (including children) are homeless makes you the scum of the earth.
Yeah, repossessing all second homes and holiday lets won't totally solve the housing crisis but it would go a long old way towards it.
Fuck Your Second Home.

Very neat Lego wallshelves from the vacation home of Minna and Joonas Välimaa, photo by Kaisa Sirén, via Meidän mökki. (NB. Finnish only.) Clearly you can be a Lego fan and yet not blow up your eyeballs with excessive color. (Sadly the article doesn’t say whether these are store-bought or DIY.)

UK government won't stop penalizing second homeowners; local council taxes set to be doubled
(Bloomberg Opinion) — This is getting personal. Michael Gove, the UK’s housing minister, seems determined to make life miserable for those who own more than one dwelling, particularly landlords who rent out for short-term or holiday lets. Local council taxes are set to be doubled on these second properties in England, coming after a series of tax breaks have already been removed and purchase…

Funniest thing about the Old Testament is how it consistently disparages bronze-age hero type characters crafted by its historical peers and lifts up that saddest patheticest wet little meow meows youve ever seen

Comment on one of my posts tonight- I kind of can’t believe this is real, but I’m going to address it, because it’s important, and also I fancy a bit of a rant.
First and foremost, I live in an area where lots of people and families live in insecure housing. This is driven, in large part, by second homes. To have a home standing empty whilst people locally are homeless is obscene.
Second homes drive house prices up to the point where people cannot afford to live in the communities where they grew up. And they create communities with shortages of really important workers- people like firefighters, nurses, teachers, carers, the people you really want in your community- just can’t afford to live there.
And it rips the heart out of a lot of these communities. I know people who grew up in areas which now have a lot of second homes. Some of these people used to play on local sports teams, volunteer in the local area, or were just generally community minded citizens. A village that’s empty half the year can’t manage a rugby team, or run an RNLI station.
And small businesses- local shops, local pubs, etc, often get pushed out in favour of those who cater specifically to tourists. And so the local community becomes a worse place to live (often, especially, times like now, when not many people use their second home).
Second home owners don’t bring business into an area when compared with every day footfall of people e.g. using a local shop. Often, they’ll do a big shop at an out of town supermarket anyway. They won’t necessarily go to the local pub.
There are villages near where I live, if you drove round them tonight, more than half the houses would have dark windows because no-one’s there. And meanwhile, there are people not so far away sleeping in tents. If you can’t see what’s wrong with that...

Wow! I’ve gotten the impression that photographic wallpaper has a bad rep, but if this kitchen with a handsome forest mural is anything to go by, that’s emphatically not true. Looks fabulous!

So I'm reading for an art history class, and Baudrillard is talking about the trends in colour usage from generation to generation (mostly in interior design, but there's definite spillover into fashion, architecture, etc.), and how every new colour movement is a direct rebellion against the previous one, like how the bright colours of the 60s/70s were a direct response to the austerity and seriousness of the WWII/postwar era, and how a shift back to organized, moralistic neutrals were a direct rejection of 60s/70s gaudiness, etc., and that all makes sense, people find their parent's style tacky, sure
But he goes on to observe how we've now been stuck in a lull of pasty tones and naturalistic finishes for some time, and I'm thinking yes, he's so right, but that's weird, because its been hanging around for so long, like what is it rebelling against anymore? What is it answering to? Well all I had to do was be patient because lo and behold, Baudrillard provides the following sentence, which caused me to completely wig out:
"...except of course, for the spheres of advertising and commerce, where colour's power to corrupt enjoys full rein"
And I'm like ooohhhhHHHHHH, so this colourless minimalist wasteland of a design principle:
Tumblr media
Is maybe hanging on so stubbornly because this corporate hellscape:
Tumblr media
is assaulting all of our eyes, inside and outside of our homes, every waking second, and is tainting the very concept of colour into something we can't relax around in our living spaces.
EDIT: The reading was The System of Objects by Jean Baudrillard, 1996 Ed., Part A, Section II, Subheading "Atmospheric Values: Colour" (p. 30-36 in my copy). Even if this was a passionate spur-of-the-moment post, omitting this was pretty silly; my bad.
EDIT 2: I was trying to be chill and leave this one alone, cuz I know most people in the notes are talking to themselves and their followers and not actually me, but 11,000 notes in it's starting to get to me - yes, I am aware that decreased homeownerhship/increased renting/landlord specials/hyperfocus on resale values, are all very direct causes of this too. I totally agree. For me, those were the obvious answers; I think we all get why the owning class is serving this to us. My epiphany moment was about understanding the flip side, the psychology of the consumers who keep accepting it, and even seem to enjoy it. That's what I couldn't understand before, but now I suddenly do. (And for those of you saying such people don't exist, no one actually wants to live without colour - check the notes, bb, they're everywhere. Not everyone has the same brain as you. We all deal with the horrors of capitalism differently.)
