RE: Should the UK government spend more money Insulating Poor People's Houses?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
That does no one any favours. personally I'd rather my taxes went on improving the housing stock so poor people don't have to literally waste money on the basics, I'd rather they used it to lift themselves out of poverty rather than wasting our resources!
Agree on this, but it has to be regulated, and educated. If the government grants a certain sum, the capital gained by the saving needs to be reimbursed to let's say 90% to make it appealing or needs to be reinvested in a different insulation measure. Like one changes the windows, the heating system can be subsidized or in that direction.

Yes I agree, but in the grand scheme of things it's a relatively easy thing to plan for, it just requires a long term Vest commitment - it's probably one of those things that suffers from 5 year terms.
