I have already said a number of times living with parents isn't always an option though you seem very fixated on it, what about renting a room, when my neighbours moved into their house they rented a room to a couple with a baby to help them get some money to make renovations, I don't know where they put these people as there are 5 of them, but anyway they did it and they got the money for a new bathroom or whatever it was, that worked both ways the family got their new bathroom and the couple got a cheap room for a year, throwing your hands up in the air and saying it can't be done is no good to anyone, sort term pain for long term gain I suppose
What about the young people of the south though.... We are sorted here in Leeds it's practically doable.
The solution you have come up with is whole families living in one room on a short term let?!... Well it's a step up from sofa surfing I suppose, it's still no replacement for affordable housing.

And it will take how many years of moving from bedsit to bedsit? Poor poor kids
