We all are aware of the housing crisis with increasing homelessness, insecurity
of tenure, the lack of social housing, and rents that take up much of people'swages. Meanwhile, thousands of homes are empty or let out as airnbs. Capitalismhas made a commodity out of our most essential needs- homes are property and thesource of profit for a few. Corporations and individuals buy up property to makemoney by: letting it out at high rents, turning the property into a holidayrental, or letting it sit empty, waiting for the value of the land to go up.There are also many second homes which sit empty for most of the year, often inprime holiday destinations such as Cornwall and Wales. Most of the rich of theworld have at least one home in London, visiting occasionally. This demand forinvestment properties and second homes for the well-off put property prices up.Local residents struggle to buy or rent something they can afford.In an anarchist communist society, all resources, including homes, would be heldin common and distributed according to need. There would be no need to ‘own' ahome because there would be no insecurity; it would be yours for as long as youwanted it.Join the growing movement to turn the empty properties of the speculators and therich into homes for those in need.More information on how to get involved and what is happening on the day isavailable at:https://www.campaignagainstemptyhomes.org/latesthttps://londonacg.blogspot.com/2022/10/day-of-action-against-empty-homes.html_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
