This would produce what everyone says first time buyers want, truly affordable homes, but of course, that's not what they actually want, because it doesn't get them onto the housing ladder that's propped against the magic money tree. If it did happen there'd soon be lots of wailing about "unfair clawback clauses" and people being "trapped" in their low value homes.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-58715634493590624762014-07-29T17:55:03.677+01:002014-07-29T17:55:03.677+01:00So much for the "need" for new housing.So much for the "need" for new housing.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.com
