Truthful article about reasons behind HPI

Guardian: Prices might be going up, but the new homes aren't

"Housing affordability is getting worse, not better," said a senior government adviser. "The reason is the requirement for a deposit. The expensive thing is not the house, but saving for a deposit."
..........no, ofcourse, silly us, all the time it was the cost of borrowing the money to buy the (in)-expensive houses, not the cost of the houses that caused everyone to borrow hugely. Brilliant politician double speak.

"clinging to the hope that the engine of the British economy - a roaring housing market - may be spluttering back to life."

A roaring housing market is the 'engine'of the British economy? Time for me to leave this country I think...This kind of thinking is unsustainable madness.
