In my village in England, where I grew up, the house and land prices have increased 10-fold in twenty years, but the average salaries have only increased 2-fold. This makes it basically impossible for me to simultaneously make a living and live there. It makes me sad because I would like to live near my parents, other family and the place I grew up, but am essentially priced out by speculation and city folk from the south.
