So poor people have very little money. Who knew?

*Sigh*

Bad times.

Why are house prices so high? The bricks, land and labour are all quite plentiful and ought to be cheap.

If anything, the government should have acted against the high costs, rather than allowing more people to pay them. Social housing [i.e. government owned, rented accomodation] and government commissioned housing projects [i.e. built publicly, sold to private owners at cost rather than at market rates] would be two solutions.
