Eednud Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 My moment of sudden and great revelation came in the form of a very technicolour yawn a few minutes after eating a 500ml tub of morello cherry, dark chocolate & almond ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Oh, I see... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)Closest I've had today is looking around at house prices and realising they're batshit nuts, and as a lifelong renter I'm getting a new appreciation for the term 'job security'.Seriously, why have house prices tripled in the last ~15 years?

banana Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A mixture of low supply/high demand and continued inflationary reactions to fractional reserve banking. Why is there low supply? What's fractional reserve banking?So is there any chance whatsoever that prices will ever return to non-batshit levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South East it's a bigger issue. Lots of reasons for it. Population growth probably the main driver. Fractional reserve banking is the method by which banks are able to lend more money than they actually hold on deposit. They pretty much create cash when they hand out things like mortgages and loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm checking prices all over, they're batshit everywhere including the Midlands bar complete shitholes towns in the north of England, and even there the value for money is very poor.The south is nuttier and London obscene, ofc. Who the f**k can afford to live in the city? Even the execs in my company commute from way out due to house prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people working in the City, and other than a couple who have their accomodation paid for by their employer, they all commute and still pay obscene money to share a house with someone else.
