Pretty depressing reading.

[Edit] I had the archive link as a comment but this has gained enough traction that it’s not obvious. Here it is again so you don’t have to give FT any clicks https://archive.is/ypkln

    Then you should read the article.

    This is the official statistics for people living in temporary accommodation whilst waiting for a house. These are families living in single room accommodation like a hotel room.

      Sounds like the contents then don’t support the headline.

      I don’t click corpo propaganda btw, let their owners pay for it themselves lol

          Which they would know, if they had read the article, right?

          Edit: I shouldn’t comment just to express salt at someone, so actually also, thanks OP for the no-paywall link.

            Yes, I’m not sure how the preferred way to present content on here is yet so I gave the original URL as the link and then commented the archive link. I sometimes see people complaining that they don’t see the body, so it sounds like we have to work around some crappy clients too.

            If there is a preferred way of presenting this then I will update the submission.

              Yeah, stuff like this is messy. I like that we’re all muddling along and figuring things out as they go. Much of this is a problem with distributed social media — but not “problem” in a bad way, but something to overcome.

              Practically, I don’t know if there’s a better way to do it, because as you say, there’s not a one size fits all solution. I just wanted to say thanks because I probably wouldn’t have read the article myself if I had to get a no-paywall link myself, so the little conveniences help.
