post a commentAnd I was amazed at the asking price for a couple of Beaux-Arts townhouses (U$S 15 million each) in Boston. I think the word crazy doesn't quite describe this type of thing anymore.
i agreed with u guys..its happen in my country as well...
But you get to the end of Bishops Avenue to East Finchley and you get council houses and other not so expensive dwellings with allottments further down. That's what makes London such a great place to live in.
What a dinky yard! It's gratifying to see his neighbors are close enough that their dogs can still irritate the owner of London's most expensive house.
Basically the whole frickin' world seems to be turning into a place where ordinary people can't buy their own house anymore. The rich get richer and the poor get shafted.
Time to change the tax laws on investment properties.
Oh well, lots of taxes need to be cut. Stamp duty on property is crying out for abolition. That alone will enable many more people to buy property. I assume that is what you meant and not raising taxes to shaft anyone who is richer than you and is therefore a subject of envy. Oh and another thing: in Britain certainly we need a major reform of planning laws.
No easy answer, but I believe the single most influential factor on housing market is inherited wealth, rather than income. How else can you explain the way that average prices outstrip average earnings more and more? That means the problem is intractable. A more progressive (as opposed to regressive) tax regime might help, but I doubt it.
Odd not see builders' vans parked outside - every time I drive down Bishops Ave it feels like a giant building site.
yeah...makes me wonder what's INSIDE that house that's worth £50,000,000!
What a hideous building. Give me a roomy terraced house any day.
50 million pounds in marin county california could barely buy a porta potty with an obstructed view of mt tamalpais. thanks george lucas for that.
