  1. dw babes FG is going to get so many investment funds to build apartments that you will be able to rent 5 for a tenner. They will be giving you extra money in your pension so you can rent even more apartments.

  2. Every four years all property owners over 70 should be made compete in trial by combat to the death.

    The survivors get 4 more years of peace and the losers homes go into a lottery for those aged 66-70, those who don’t win a home in the lottery become live in servants for all the homeowners over 66.

    We could televise and monetise the games with all the money raised going towards daily chicken fillet rolls for schoolkids

  3. By the time generation rent get to old age, the property market will have collapsed due to the decrease in population that’s coming. Unless there’s mass immigration in the next 50 years, property won’t be the asset it once was.

  4. I seriously think our generation will have to emigrate to somewhere where the cost of living is cheaper when they retire. The state pension goes further in Spain or Portugal than here for example. That’s a pretty dire state of affairs if that us forced on you rather than a choice you make for yourself.

  5. Leo already said we will be dealing with all this for years. You only live 80 years on average. Basically saying we will be fucked for most of it.

  6. The amount of houses around the place where I live are empty shells of a house wouldn’t it be in the governments interest or the property owners to sell em or make it into accommodation
