• The post you are reporting:
   
  I pasted here an extract from the article in post 1.
  
  "The result, according to housing experts, is that the private sector is becoming increasingly unaffordable for local authorities, resulting in a ripple effect as homeless people and those on benefits are rehoused in areas where rents are cheaper."
  
  My impression is that the point has been totally missed on this thread.
  If there are cheaper rented accommodations going in Dover in respect to London, then we might see an influx of people who are homeless and on benefits.
  Of-course this will mean they'll be signing on in Dover if they're on JSA.
  That would have an impact on the local employment market, with more people competing for the vacant jobs.
  
  It's clear to see that Dover District Council is not prepared for the event, and we are just talking around it.
  
  I would have expected DDC to prepare a letter to the competent ministries in London explaining Dover's dire unemployment situation and asking that Dover be excluded from this project of rehousing unemployed people.
  
  This whole topic has nothing to do with attracting high earners to Dover, which would have required a separate thread.
