DOOM: House prices

We can, but there's a risk that their tory mates may not ...

Even Lib Dems ignore the Lib Dems.

Their Labour mates will ignore that one.

Or didn't you realise that depending on what part of the country you are living in the amount you are stating can't buy a one bedroom flat?

Then you find a job somewhere you can afford to buy.

Again, people thinking they are better than they actually are. Just because they grew up/now live in say London doesn't mean they have to be there all the time. They can't afford London houses means they're not cut out for London. Move to Manchester/Newcastle/Liverpool...there are plenty places where houses are more affordable.

That is a very short sighted view.

You may live in an executive new build or whatever your definition of somewhere 'nice' is but for society to function nurses, teachers, police and emergency workers also need to be able to afford to live there as well.
