Vivaldo Report post Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) Does Gordon Brown really thing that he can keep prices high for ever. Looking at prices at the local EA, I just wonder how anyone who is sane thinks prices can stay as they are or even increase.

If any of its features make it unmarketable ... it becomes valueless. Ergo, a house with an unrealistic price tag .... is worthless in market terms.

FreeFall Report post Posted August 4, 2005 You're right - they're only unaffordable if you haven't got one already. In the area I live in the difference in cost between a 1 bed ex council flat (160k), a 2 bed victorian terrace (190k), and a 3 bed semi (210k) isn't all that bad. Certainly not out of proportion from historical evidence. The problem is getting onto the bottom rung without crippling yourself financially. Welcome to the new second class generation (like myself) - the have nots. :angry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people with "mental illness" have an emotional injury caused by some sort of abuse caused by someone else. Hence the expression that someone can "do your head in".
