    That price is obscene. That would be £100-150K where I live. It’s this some southern thing?

      Inside the M25? It’s almost shocking that it isn’t double the price (not justifying this in any way, just making a point of how obscene housing prices have become, especially in greater London)

      probably. according to zoopla it went for 365k in 2021. changing hands for this silly money is especially obscene since it would have previously been sold for a pittance under the right to buy

      I would say it’s largely a problem of big cities being where everything has centralized these days, and said cities failing to provide enough housing and/or sufficiently good transportation in and out of the city.

      Britain and basically all countries need to stop spending money on useless roads that get backed up with traffic when 4 people want to use them at the same time, and instead invest the money in railways. London is so stupidly huge and important that the metro network should be like twice as large, and it should also have a network of express metro lines extending even further from the city as well as proper high speed rail connecting all the way to Glasgow.
