Am I losing the Plot???
Have I gone mad or is it just the way this country is going?
Right our good old 'friends' the government has proposed plans to build loads and loads of 'affordable' houses in and around the UK, did they ever think about these things.
1. Countryside will not exist anymore cause any land they find they will build on it.
2. Packing us in like sardines in a small country is not the answer.
3. Building houses is great but what about providing more Schools, Hospitals and other public needed things???
4. More and more companies in this country are closing down due to things being done cheaper abroad hence finding a job here is going to be harder.
5. policing, fire services, paramedics will have to be increased.
What is going on? what happen to the good days? Why are we letting them do this?
Any thoughts......

1. strange there seems to be a fair bit still around
2. well if you move there will be one less. what exactly is your miracle solution for a rising population and limited space?
3. what about providing houses for people to live in? you;re right, not important to you cos you have a house. not selfish at all. Given that the govt has been pumping money into the black holes you mention the investment in housing is small by comparison.
4.so . . . people will never get a job and we should tell them to leave the country. British citizens out, I hear ya!
5. In line with our expanding population - there's a crazy idea. Paid for with the increased tax revenue - how stupid.
What are you on about? There were no good old days - we are letting them do this because the vast majority of people who have bought a house recently are heading for financial meltdown if the housing market turns, or simply cannot afford to get a place of their own. It gets my vote.
1. Hooray! I am anti-countryside.
2. There is still plenty of space.
3. There are those as well, but first you need houses for the people.
4. As long as there is free flow of labour in a free market, it will even out in the end. The problem starts when one puts artificial restrictions on numbers.
5. They are being increased.
i agree with pickle. Im sure that the government arent going to build thouseands of house for them to be left unused.
Im also guessing that bad11thebone isnt in the same situation as me. in my current financial situation ( that being the only debt i have is for my car ) i wouldnt even be able to dream about moving into my own house with my boyfriend with the prices how they are at the moment until we are both about 30 and im 20 now.
Why shouldnt the government build affordable houses for people in this situation
GB is a big country and im sure there is still room for expansion!
