A subject close to my heart and has been touched on in the politics thread.
Thought it would be interesting to get everyone's ideas on what could solve it.
It is incredible to think that young people face the burden of university debt and then the huge task of buying a house and having kids all before 30 for many. Not an easy task at all.
I agree that building council homes is the way forward. However what is also needed is a government owned house builder building decent houses people can buy. Employing tradesman on prIce and with industry leaders building efficiently on government owned land. It is my firm believe that decent quality 3 bed houses can be delivered for sub 100k build costs. A few million of these built over the next few years would go a long way.
You only have to look at the profits made by the large House builders (Making over 50k per house built) to see that cost savings can be made. The government should be building homes.
That saving should be passed on to the young and also would lead to a huge upsurge in young men and women taking up a trade in a secure employment environment.
Also reducing the amount of people who feel the need to go to university.
A win win situation.
Thoughts?
