Organisers say 150,000 joined protest in Madrid urging the government to ‘end the housing racket’ and to demand access to affordable housing

I find this remarkable (and wonderfully recreshing) , in Australia we seemingly want to buy expensive housing to get on the grift.

As John Howard said, he was never approached by anyone about making housing more affordable, as well as Plibersek as Housing Minister in the Rudd government,.wbere before that election saying first home owners gramts where a bad idea as all they did was raise house prices, gets elected to government and increases the first home owners grant as her first task.

      Yeah sorry what a mess of a comment. I sometimes say “we” and “here” meaning different things without realising. I might have a bit of an identity crisis.

      Left Spain. Am in Australia. The comment was written from a Spaniard perspective.
