That's down to politics, economics and immigration. The latter you appear to be wholehearetedly behind, so you can't be surprised at the unintended effects it has. Completely beyond the control of people who through luck inhabit houses worth a hundred times what they paid for them.

The UK used to pay billions into a club that allowed other countries to facilitate tax evasion for multinationals.
Who would have thought it.
