"I forgot", will this be BJ's epitaph?
Insane replied to Bruce Banner's topic in House prices and the economy
He is a multi Millionaire his wife has even more while her parents are Billionaires. Why would he want a £150,000 year job ? It just does not make any sense unless it was to be in a position making policy to help people like himself make/keep even more money. -
We are all different all with different want and needs. The flats you describe built a while back are very different to what has been built recently. I think the problems are going to be with the new build high density developments. Which are smaller in size , have a kitchen in the living room, a lack of parking , high service charges and could have cladding.

London is awash with new build flats. They are all very similar a huge amount of the ones under £600k have been bought with HTB. When HTB finishes in December the developers will not be able to achieve the prices they have been achieving , surely this will have a major knock on effect for the nearly new second hand market.

I don't dispute there is property hoarding , but we have a shortage of property so simple. I was there I was there 20 years prior to that as well we have a shortage now as we did in 2002 and 1982. Put your head in the sand it is up to you. We have a shortage that is not going to go away any time soon. -

You need to provide evidence to support that everyone is adequately housed. You have failed to do that so far. You need to look at my posts above I said we had a shortage 20 + years ago. I am not saying it is something that is new. -

Numbers for which the 20+ year waiting list in London there's one number. No no actual numbers for how many living in Vans, Sofa Surfing or in B&B's however these are things we never head of in the past. Nor any numbers for those living in over crowded housing or sub standard housing but are you saying these situations don't exist ? So why have we the examples that I mentioned ? I'm not discounting misallocation but saying we have a shortage quite simple. Evidence is everywhere just take a look. -

I read the first few bits it's piff. We have a housing shortage. Why are asylum seekers being put up in Hotel's and ex army camps if we have enough housing ? Why are there 20+ year waiting lists in London if we have enough ? Why are there people living in dwellings not fit for human habitation ? Why not move them to the surplus housing ? Why are people living in over crowed conditions ? Have you got any numbers for sofa surfing ? Have you got any numbers for those in B&B accommodation ? Have you got any numbers for those living in Vans ? The last 3 are all examples of what is called the hidden homeless. WE HAVE A HOUSING SHORTAGE. -

Yes we do. Prices might crash but there will still be plenty of people not adequately housed. -

What has the number of people per property got to do with it ? The councils in London have waiting lists of 20+ years in the 80's there was no list Newley married couples went to the council to be allocated a dwelling. WE HAVE A PROPERTY SHORTAGE ! -

Graph needs to show total extra space created to determine how much more living space we have. I do understand but even with proper allocation we still have a shortage.
