Ikea houses as good as it gets?
Firstrung: 'Lego land' flat pack houses no solution for real world problems - Firstrung
Today the BBC will make light of the 'flat pack solution' for the housing crisis in the UK. The fact that current house price inflation, (causing a generation of potential home owners to be priced out), has been caused primarily by artificially low interest rates and aggresive lending, (with scant regard for mortgage qualification criteria), is an argument for another day. The sight of these pre-fabs on re-claimed brown field sites should have the authorities and figures of responsibility - from Ministerial to local Governments, holding their heads in shame.

I'm sick of hearing this 'affordable housing' nonsense. The cost of bricks and mortar if anything have come down - cheap labour and rubbish build quality. It's the LAND prices are the problem. HELLO? A five year old could work this out!
