It's a matter of trust: but we don't even like our neighbours


It's a matter of trust: but we don't even like our neighbours - National


Note that:

"Dr Hughes said the lowest levels of trust were found among those in public housing and the second lowest was among those renting privately.

'Those people who feel more vulnerable in society are more cautious, along with those people who feel more vulnerable and those people who have lower levels of health and lower levels of financial independence and education,' he said."


Governments like to prop up landlords with huge tax giveaways, and do their part to prevent affordable home ownership, at the cost of this loss of trust and security in the community. Clearly capitalist governments like to work against the interests of the community, despite all their fine, empty words at speech-making and voting time...
