With regard to London unless you feel I should personally solve the housing crises we have a Mayor who put housing very squarely on his manifesto, I posted this link earlier in the thread, maybe you missed it, I urge you to be strong when you see what he advocates as starter home prices we are waiting for him to come good on his promise, so far he seems more fixated on getting rid of wood burning stoves to improve the atmosphere

Finally average wages are what it says on the tin, average, it means not everyone will be earning that amount but equally some people will earn more, so you are able to buy your home on a non living wage how are you managing that?

Cal didn't specify how many, isn't the whole of the south bad enough...Or do you want a mass exodus to Leeds?
I have never asked you to solve it I asked for ideas for southerners struggling heading north isn't always viable neither is kipping in some old dears back bedroom while she saves for a stairlift.
I get a 50% discount on this post war prefab which is not worth much to begin with, a mortgage on it would be less than my rent.

You of course know the real reason, the energy companies profits are affected so are pressuring the govt to do something to force people back to fossil fuels the dirtiest fuel there is. :/
