Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostIt comes from the fact that this way of life won't be tenable in the near future. Why should younger memebers of a family who's lived in a village for x generations be priced out of buying new homes in that area because of people looking for a second home?.
This is of course made up, but there is no god given right for somebody to be able to live where they want. In some areas second home ownership has made things more unaffordable, but my village in somerset was pretty unaffordable to most "locals" best part of 20 years ago.Comment

Ok, forget it. Have your free market.
Village life is tulip anyway, that's why I moved away."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostNot at all, I'm suggesting that low cost homes in rural areas should only be available to people who can demonstrate a local connection (either by work or family) and not to Jonny two-jags for his weekend home.Hard Brexit now!
