How much do you think an island costs? Small ones are on the market for less than a modest family home in popular urban areas, e.g. http://www.orkneyproperty.c

How much do you think an island costs?
Small ones are on the market for less than a modest family home in popular urban areas, e.g. http://www.orkneyproperty.co.uk/content/b7a2dd97-8b71-4b09-9129-4f2e8a1b2c8c.pdf http://www.orkneyproperty.co.uk/content/b7a2dd97-8b71-4b09-9...
Much of the issue with housing costs and difficulty getting the property you want are down to people piling into a few hotspots. More remote work seems like the answer to this.
- Arizhel 9y ago300k pounds is roughly USD$600k I think; not exactly a "modest family home" in most of the US outside of a few overpriced metro areas like SV.
- dasmoth 9y ago300k pounds is roughly USD$600k I think; Oh, if only that were true! (It's less that $400k at current exchange rates, and arguably even that overstates the purchasing power). not exactly a "modest family home" in most of the US outside of a few overpriced metro areas like SV. It'll go a long way in the housing market of much of the UK, too. Just not the "overpriced metro areas" (where, sadly, a lot of the software jobs seem to end up...)
