I know the crack dude...... Brb is way off again but he will fight his corner for ego sake

 

So you just agreed with my point unknowingly on Welsh rural house prices but few posts back you disagreed........ Ew iz fking a strange mother fkr.

By the way I'll repeat its not an English thing its an English tory thing...... Big differences for me

 

I’ve got an idea; build some ****ing council houses. Something to equal the 350,000 a year Harold McMillan’s (Tory) government built throughout the 1950s. Then ordinary working people can have somewhere decent and affordable to live in.

 

Apologies excepted......

 

Thank fk for that my worst nightmare that would be..... Saying that you wouldn't be so gobby probably.

 

Prices are driven by supply and demand. Simple as that really.

I get why people in rural areas fume about house prices being driven up by second home owning buyers or those seeking to buy solely to use as holiday lets, but they can’t fume about people simply moving there as a full time home.

What can anyone realistically do about it anyway? Ban second homes or buy to lets? Not really.

What’s needed in these areas is more affordable homes, shared equity schemes and social housing, built solely for the benefit of locals. Funnily enough my daughter has just bought a house on such a scheme, as she lives in an area that’s swarming with holiday home buyers.

 

They all say that....... It never seems to happen though.

What about off grid places.....hemp bricks eco friendly shinny happy people

 

Back in the 70s I visited some people I'd met at Stonehenge festival, who lived in a teepee village, in a place called Talley Valley, not far from the Brecon Beacons. That was pretty off grid. No idea if the village is still there, would be nice to think it was, and someone was keeping the hippie dream alive.

No electricity, not even a generator, and the only running water was the stream that ran through the valley.

 

Any new build estates down here now have to have a proportion of social housing / shared ownership

 

If new-build homes looked like these (actually a retirement home in Hull) then people would actually have pleasant places to live. Inviting millions of ethnically and culturally-alien people into the country to support an absurd property bubble and then stacking them on top of one-another in ****ty, inflammable brutalist tower blocks is not conducive to a healthy society.

This **** promising to build on the good city of Hull’s positive reputation here.

Ethnically and culturally alien people? Yawn, the tired old blame the immigrants angle.
