1236 [1228] Hrs Wednesday 24 October 2012:
There is hype on now in many media outlets suggesting that
"house prices bonanza" is to greet many property owners along the
"Crossrail line".
This hype is a most misleading one.
Typically attached to the
hype that anti-social agenda-pushing pluggers of Big Biz-prompted projects tend
to indulge in, this line fails to report the truth about the housing shortage
and homeless crisis that mars thousands of lives and ruins the local and the
wider UK economy in the long, the short and the medium terms.
You can only have a "bonanza" if you can afford to own
the property in the first place.
How many people in the hyped-up areas own their own houses and
properties?
That depends on income and earnings. How many people in your
area are unable to find jobs despite trying very hard?
Or is the hyper for Big Biz still claiming that the Economy is
doing really fine, when even Mervin King, of the Bank of England, has felt in
necessary to say the prospects of the UK economy are really dim, so dim that he
foresees generations to come to live in the shadow of the poor Economy!
