But not for someone thinking their £2m house will “lose value”
There are a lot of rich people in the U.K.
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoOf course, but I think a country can't survive long term if it's focused on raising the property prices of those with already expansive houses especially given the demographic slowdown/collapse. Or am I crazy?

- chgs 2y agoOf course not. But that’s right change the nimby or indeed banana viewpoint
- robertlagrant 2y agoI don't understand this sort of response. The context is the average person. What do you mean in that context?
- pjc50 2y agoIt doesn't matter about the average person if it only takes one successful objection to stop a project.
- jordanwallwork 2y agoI think you misread it. The context was, _not low_ (ie. high) for the average person. For someone with a higher than average wealth however, £5k isn't all that much, especially if it could potentially protect the value of their assets
- robertlagrant 2y agoI was referring to the "not that expensive".
- jordanwallwork 2y agoMaybe I misread it then. I interpreted it as "not low for the average person, but not that expensive _for someone with greater than average wealth_"
- Jtsummers 2y agoYes, that's how I intended it.
- chgs 2y ago£5k is a lot for the average person on £40k a year. £5k for someone with £2m in assets and fears losing £200k due to the “blight” of a power plant is not a lot.
