But the whole housing market in London is largely top end.
I work in a company full of 25-30 year olds, earning salaries at or above the national average.
Only two of us have been able to buy property, one mortgaged himself to the hilt, and I only can because I got into the market 10 years ago as a 19 year old student, and built up a fuck ton of equity in the boom.
There is no way I could buy now without that.
My point is that your average worker can't afford it anyway, so in some ways problems affecting them are largely irrelevant, the whole London market is only really open to the top 25% of earners anyway...
