Fullerene Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, coprolite said: House prices are also related to the buy to let market which is related to another big change. The huge reduction in public housing since Thatcher. Council Houses have been replaced by housing associations and private landlords. If you want to move out of the family home at 18 now it's likely that your options will be private rental, army, street or jail. House prices are also affected by all the people who see property as an easy investment that will earn more money than anything else. Apparently there are more empty houses in London than there are houses (empty or not) in Liverpool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 21 hours ago, GHF-23 said: I think there's certainly space for intentional multi generational living as part of a response to the housing crisis. While its prevalence is overstated in particular in Southern Europe, it is more common in other places and where space and other privilege allows a decision for 3 generations of a family to live together can make sense. Childcare for the middle generation is easily available, housing costs will be lower; and for the elder generation support and companionship are more consistent, allowing greater opportunity to age in place and maintain ownership of a family home that may have been held for 20+ years. It's something we have tentatively discussed with my wife's parents as a potential long term solution when we move to the states, although it's unlikely it will be what we ultimately do. I have a feeling that's very much not the decision making behind the trends above though At one stage we had, essentially, 6 adults living in our 5 bedroom house. I was forced share with my wife and therefore couldn't decorate the way I wanted. As soon as the last one moved out we downsized to make sure they couldn't come back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 This is the inspection report for a children’s home in Cheshire. It fails on every count, with a number of serious allegations made. The home is run by Ampika Pickston, an OnlyFans model and firmer reality TV star (Real Housewives of Cheshire). One of the main shareholders is her partner, David Sullivan, billionaire, West Ham owner and pornographer. From reading the report one concern is the owner took children from the home to her private residence. Also, a few years back Sullivan loaned a crime boss, David Hunt, £1m while he was in the process of suing the Sunday Times. Sullivan also served a prison sentence for living odd immoral earnings in the 1980s but was exonerated on appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If you Google Daily Mail Kate surgery, it's genuine quite fucking incredible how many of these stories there are. They must have about 20 of them from the last 2 days. I just read one. I won't link it cos f**k them, but it was every bit as cringy if not worse than the one posted here. Absolutely brain melting stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
