when the inveitable consequences occur - eg **** all housing available in

You're right, it is someone else's fault.
It's Clement Attlee's fault. Stupid Town and Country Planning Act 1947
and its successors. Without that, land owners would be able to far more
easily build houses that people want to live in in places that people
want to live.
Oh , you mean that silly green belt thing? Yes, god forbid we should have
some greenery around london and stop it ending up a sprawling mess like
LA or Tokyo. After all, those sorts of places are Utopia, right?
pushing the wages down (and anyone who claims they haven't doesn't live in
the real world I'm afraid).
The data disagrees.
More statistics plucked out of someones arse for a Guardian story? You can
keep them. Real world wages have been going down for a number of trades
and thats not just heresay, its based on first hand knowledge of people who
work in them.
