Ah I think it's just a logic point - I don't think that "it's not true noone can buy a house anywhere" means anyone can buy anywhere - which is clearly false.
Agree with all the reasons many people can't.
Point I was trying to make is that many people still can - not least because they had capital (e.g. from already being exposed to the property market).

I understand the housing costs in London, I'm lucky enough to be in a partnership that can afford to pay for a house in London (you cunt, you absolute cunt damo).
I was trying to pick up on this point:
"It's not true that "no one can buy a house anywhere""
Which suggests anyone can buy a house anywhere. This is patently untrue for many reasons - deposit, loans, mortgages, availability of work that allows you to secure these things, transport time etc and so on.
Anyway. I get why people feel squeezed. I really do. I also get that housing market is fucked. I also get the intense concentration of high paying (and rewarding for professional development) work tends to be clustered around the capital. And that this is a very good reason for actively pushing organisations to other parts of the country.
