...almost 30 per cent overvalued in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom....
But I thought the UK had a land shortage that magically appeared in the mid-1990s and accounted for the price increases?
Still, saying it's only 30% overvalued is being ridiculously generous, in my opinion. Median household income is £19-22,000. The median home price is -- what, £180-190,000? (That's what the median house costs in dollars in America, and Americans earn a bit more than Brits at the median.) Have the IMF call me when they crash to £90-100,000, and I'll agree with the ruling that sanity has been restored.
And my understanding was that Ireland was looking at even worse falls. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
The Atlantic had a good article about it last month. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
yeah. me too.
wasn't any surprise if you were watching any of it being built. badly cured (or nearly green) lumber, shoddy methods, poor finish. amazing that any of it passed inspection -- and [here I get really ticked off] during those same years it was impossible to get a permit to build a solid little strawbale cabin, or put up a yurt, anywhere in the county I lived in. The difference between theory and practise in practise ...
The stuff they build in the Mid-Atlantic is even worse. They might not be as pretty, but I'll stick to the old brick buildings. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
