Where is Generation Z?

The solution is more house building.

Some greenfield sites in the SE aren't worth saving either environmentally or for their "view".

Agreed too (that's all part of government policy keeping prices artificially high too - even if its not necessarily intentional).

[SpontaneousOrder]

Nope they don't all think that.

It's worth talking to some actual young people....

Plus, i think there definitely is an argument that when house prices are rising faster than you can save (artificially too), then with no hope of buying a house you may as well get an expensive hipster hair-do.

Where is Generation Z?

Working hard to buy a house instead of sitting around bitching about not being able to afford one.

Whilst generation y get a new hipster hairdo and more work on their 'sleve'

And that rationale is why you and those that think like you will never own their own property. You give up at the first sign of trouble.
The LOSER generation.
