    My local city is Stirling and I see very few homeless people compared to Aberdeen. Your point about better returns may be accurate though. It would be interesting to find out why there are so many homeless people in Aberdeen.
    Although I guesss house and rent prices may be a factor.

    pathetic, repetitive, dull and deluded. :(

    You are a hindrance to this site as well as being boring and disingenuous.

    Some people think you are funny and humorously odd - I just think you are a waste of time, a propagandist trying to feather his own nest while peddling nonsense to suit his own agenda.

    No, not really.
    These are all currently for sale and priced between 175K and 200K.
    And you think that's impressive? :rotfl:

    For HALF the price in a sunnier climate you get something a bit nicer than a poky house in a grim part of the world:

    The higher the peak, the larger the fall.

    Oh sorry, I forgot...this time it's different.

    Well it certainly was different this time.

    Back to a new peak in just 3 years.

    Remarkable resiliance.

    There's less in Aberdeen than in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Dundee and Perth have less, although Inverness seems to have a shedload in summer tourist season.

    I think it's all down to where they get the most from begging.

    Doubt it. There's plenty of cheap housing available if thats all you can afford.

    Enough do that our house prices are back to peak.

    Thankfully, we still manage to keep out most of you southern riff-raff.
