Have you got £600k for a one bed next to the Nag's Head care of @marshandparsons?

More affordable accommodation in @peterjohn6's Southwark. You would need to be earning £90k a year plus to net the smallest one of these. #housingcrisis

Even the "affordable" Shared Ownership flats at @NHGhousing's Manor Place Depot require an income of £67K. Imagine how much you need to earn to buy the thing normally.

@peterjohn6's new Elephant is only for the rich.

Here's the CGI vs actual photo of the redeveloped Heygate estate's new green spaces - somehow the CGI missed the 8ft railings and key fob controlled gate..

“You don’t feel like a citizen of your own city: it’s all so prohibitively expensive”

Great piece from @danhancox about how austerity + unaffordable housing > poverty > exclusion > knife crime as anyfulekno

We thank @Lendleaseuk for finally bringing architectural quality to our formerly benighted neighbourhood. The toddlers are going to love this new prison sorry nursery #prisonchic

Elephant Shopping centre appears on Shit London group on Facebook again. Favourite comment so far: "nor can London just be for the poor as inner London was before gentrification. Some of the people who work deserve to live near their place of work." https://t.co/Rfcv4HnpvS

Remember: making your living by evicting those on lower incomes doesn't mean you don't have a sense of humour

This city isn't working. This is what you get if you try to search for London Living Rent properties advertised all over the tube by the @MayorofLondon

@getliving and make you mad Gs at the same time

[Sad Elephant @sadelephantxyz]

this is why @getliving and others are now going for build-to-rent options

[Sad Elephant @sadelephantxyz]

Developers unable to sell the glut of luxury homes of London? Surely not. Let's build more all over Elephant and Blackfriars rather than building what the people of London actually need - affordable homes #weneedhomes

"In a city with public bodies less hellbent on self-immolating any sense of difference, the vibrancy of the Latin American community might even be something to celebrate."

[Sad Elephant @sadelephantxyz]

Nice piece in @Dazed about the destruction of Latin Elephant

https://t.co/4lqmtXwVoi

[Sad Elephant @sadelephantxyz]

Some good quotes: "All of the whirlwind building and activity is pointed at a new, so far entirely hypothetical population that want residential security over anything remotely anarchic or vibrant."

[Will Jennings  @willjennings80]

You could intervene in the destruction of Elephant & Castle shopping centre, centre for so much
London Latino business and community, as this would have REAL political function.

Or you could make up a slogan & do some meaningless gestures like this? 🤔

If you apply to build something and don't get permission you are "refused". But if your backers are @SadiqKhan, @peterjohn6 and some nameless offshore investors then you are "not passed" and you can just have another go
