"Because they are lazy and feckless", if you listen to anyone over 40.
Younger people can't afford a house because empathy is dead, and property in the UK is no longer a thing in which you live, it's an investment instrument - and unfortunately as it's a rather profitable investment instrument large and wealthy entities engage with said investments, pushing smaller investors (i.e. human beings who wish to own the roof over their head) out of the market.
We've successfully gone back to landed aristocracy.
- talmand 11y agoDon't generalize, I'm over 40 and don't agree with that statement.
- madaxe_again 11y agoSure, sorry, "anyone" isn't quite right - but this does seem to hold true for a significant majority. If I had a penny for every time I get a "when I was your age" I'd be able to live in a house made of them!
- talmand 11y agoNo worries, when I was your age I complained about the older crowd as well when they did something I didn't like.
