Home ownership in England has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years as the growing gap between earnings and property prices has created a housing crisis that extends beyond London to cities including Manchester.
This is one of the most hilarious non-stories I have ever read!!!
"Hey did y'all know; people OUTSIDE of London cannot afford to buy properties!"
!!!!!!, most people across the entire UK have not been able to afford to buy a property for over a decade now!
What a stupid article. Do the media and people who live in London seriously think that the high price of properties has only affected London all this time, and the rest of the country is ONLY just starting to suffer?! This whole story is so beyond ludicrous that it's borderline hilarious!You didn't, did you? :rotfl::rotfl:0 -
Lack of affordable housing will just decrease discretionary income leading to job losses in certain sectors.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
