Has anyone done a cultural studies PhD about all the music that's about women wanting rich men only and and men saying they're rich and have loads of women, what kind of gendered mating rituals are these and why do we tolerate them

Obvs banning the buy-to-let mortgage (1996 invention) would help. More social housing would help. But nah, let's just go round protesting for homelessness.
The answer to landlords fitting out family homes as HMOs is rent controls, letting asylum seekers work and govt provision of housing for recently granted refugees. This isn't a pipedream - all three were normality a few decades ago.
Press misunderstandings on this issue are unhelpful for tenants @BBCNews.
The government is NOT abolishing no-fault eviction, only 'no-reason' eviction.
Tenants who have not breached their tenancy can still be evicted through amended eviction grounds.

The way race and racism are used by neoliberal governments to continually undermine living standards for everyone (justifiable by spite alone) is so blatant. This kind of narrative is increasingly fostering a public that would rather starve than feed their neighbour.
This is a surreal and dangerous framing. If getting rid of the two child limit would "benefit" some ethnicities more, that just means it penalises those ethnicities more now.
Is starving children fine because some of those children aren't white?

Imagine hating iMmIgRaNts so much that you'd rather we didn't build more houses in case someone you irrationally hate gets them.
If you give bigots what they want, they just want more. It's a death drive.
