United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

A land value tax would fix this
It wouldn't though because rich people are rich. They can afford to be extravagant, they all moan about it but ultimately just consider it the cost of doing business.
You would actually have to implement laws that directly instructed affordable homes to be constructed, trying to pussyfoot around the issue will just result in it not working.
Just limit foreign investment in real estate, practically half of London is owned by russian, arab and chinese billionaires. Other countries don't allow owning property if you don't live there or tax the shit out of second and third homes.
