Quote from: Mups on January 27, 2026, 08:46:49 PMI wonder how these unrealistic house prices can be justified?
I mean, what's changed? A house is still the same bricks and mortar, garden size, driveway, etc that it always was, so why such ridiculous price increases?
And even many posher areas that were, are no longer as desirable as they were years ago, with many new-builds swamping every bit of greenery there was.
Quote from: muddy on Today at 01:12:47 AMLots do but it's not their fault if they can't afford to move out.That used to be the case more than nowadays, due to the shortage of social housing. A hostel then a room in an HMO is more likely now. Having a baby also used to be a passport to council housing, lots of families in temporary accommodation wait a long time, especially in London and the SE.
People do all sorts of things just to get social housing .
If a minor gets "kicked out' by his family he will get put up by the council .
At 18 he will be eligible for social housing at some point.
Whereas if he has a home with his parents that's where he will have to stay .
