The UK is just getting worse and worse. It's a rear-guard action. They are printing (desperately) via land prices. Without this there is no "growth".
Given that the young have no savings, no security (job or home) and no hope, what will the UK be like in 15 years time? My guess is it's going to be worse than now.
London really is soul-crushing. I doubled my salary then doubled it again starting out working from 1998 and all the time housing costs stayed ahead of me.
The UK is not for workers. You are always working for the landed classes, not for yourself. It's the new serfdom.
- iolothebard 11y agoThe US is going down this same path. It's why every apartment complex in my town sells for 50-100% more than it did 5-7 years ago. We don't tax the wealthy so they're finding ways to park it in real estate. The problem is the poor (working or not) keep voting for this trickle up policy. It's like Americans never learned from the history of the UK.
