That's rather presumptuous of you, so this flat you had as a first time buyer is now worth £380k and unattainable for many 1st, 2nd or even 3rd time buyer but it's nothing to do with that, just the priorities of the younger generation?
You bought in London, don't you see that is exactly the attitude displayed in the vid it's not a case of move out of the capital to find cheaper property, that has always been an option. It's the denial that there is a discrepancy between wages and property prices now that is impossible to bridge there even if you lived on a shoestring budget for years.
