As you discuss the duration (roughly speaking, time to maturity) on a social housing bond would make it less attractive to a small investor, so the REIT idea (no pun intended) is a good one.<br/><br/>In fact, it reminded me of the existence of co-operative housing. Perhaps bonds to develop more of that could be included in such an idea. Giving the community a stake in it&#39;s own housing and a say in how it&#39;s run. 2025-05-27T11:19:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqkwxjvq3khzj6aqrgm728ryt57djj2snwz94d8rx2pwrkekz7q7czyrj9q832a5fu6zwez92vcn9nmc88uk4vnf0l53rewdd5cafhezfpg4pppzs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqv2gc8yzlhg55sfdy64fly7ul0yu7p2x99zdnx5kktpuxtlmtgcgttwjvd'>nevent1q…wjvd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Idea for increasing demand for Gilts*.<br/><br/>The primary concerns of people who hold cash are risk and liquidity, which are low and high respectively for Gilts.<br/><br/>The primary concern of Ms Reeves seems to be she hates cash ISAs and wants more invested in OEICs and the like.<br/><br/>The combined solution for this would be to educate the public about collective investment vehicles like OEICs specialising in Gilts.<br/><br/>[* Gilt is a shorter term used for UK Government Bonds] 2025-05-27T10:04:43Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs247exxmh2h5schjvgersdaypawfpr2z2rtavam06zy40tylfgglqzyrj9q832a5fu6zwez92vcn9nmc88uk4vnf0l53rewdd5cafhezfpguqcrhc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvas3gq0sg8hhjnz4xx768y0wg2wkysxzc4vxew7eqlg44wep9l3qzj7w3f'>nevent1q…7w3f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Husband was on a training call the other day and a really graphic example was used.<br/><br/>What happens if a road is at 100% capacity?
