Описание: 7 November 2019. 1 Ashley Road, Tottenham, London N17. The words in black are my added comment. The real wording on the advertising board reads: " ... much needed homes for Haringey and for London". I have neither the skills, nor the courage to - illegally - add a comment on this hoarding in Ashley Road. But tweeting a comment and adding an "amendment" to a photo isn't (yet) against UK law. It refers to processes underway in large cities across the world. In London we share some of the same terms as other places - words like gentrification and social cleansing. Phrases such as the "financialisation of housing" - in other words the switch from housing as homes, to buildings as investments. Flats/apartments become like safety deposit boxes in a tower. (Which may not even be used as anyone's home, but left empty.) There's a linked issue. Who can afford to buy or rent in London? The wording: "Working with Haringey Council" and supported by Mayor of London are both bitter jokes as our homelessness crisis worsens. More people "sleeping rough". And there are "hidden" homeless, including families having to move temporary rented homes every few months. Or those forced out of the city. Many more people are begging. It's like a distorted version of a traditional English nursery rhyme: some are in rags, some in (sleeping) bags. Though the corporate beggars in velvet gowns have done well from their handouts of public cash and landgrabs to benefit private profit.
