Squats and squatting / London housing

You can see how completely out of whack the 'housing market' still is when they call out London, with a growth of 4.8% in the first three months of 2021, the UK's 'worst-performing region':

A cooling in the 'housing market', which is ridiculously over-speculated, overvalued, and a symptom of a weak, unbalanced economy, is only to be welcomed, slight though it is at 0.2%.
