Re: Where will people live in the future?
And where do they live?Many in ultra crowded houses umpteen to a room .
This is ok as a means to an end ie saving up enough money to return to their homeland and buy a house
However it's not a way of life for British people who want to have a family and who are here for ever .
Homes are ridiculously expensive and rents are as high as mortgages .
It's hard for those young people out there
The stated should IMO build rent controlled accommodation to help people on their way .
However I can see this would be open to abuse .

Re: Where will people live in the future?
I agree although we have seen a slight change here recently with the Polish families that have arrived, no longer many single people to a house now they are here wth several children living in houses just like we do (which is a relief as the children need proper housing).IMO at least half rental properties should be accessible to people on NMW as that end of the market is where we really need help.

Re: Where will people live in the future?
Where will people live in the future?I am one of those older people that live in a bigger house than I need but to be honest there is not a lot around that interests me. I would love to move into a bungalow, I am not fussy I don't believe in memory's of the house just the certain contents that I could easily take with me.
Trouble is every time I look at what is available I never see anything in the market apart from overpriced bungalows. You see all these new homes going up but you never see new bungalows apart from around the seaside area's and they are so costly. Some years ago I moved away from London and now I would love to move back closer to my kids but you try finding a bungalow on the outskirts of London under £300000.
So my advice to any councillor would be if you want the older generation to move out of their homes build more ruddy bungalows and keep them at reasonable prices.
