Apparently the young of today simply aren’t ever going to gain a home of their own.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]One of Britain’s biggest mortgage lenders has found that 70% of young people now believe that the homeownership dream is over for their generation.[/perfectpullquote]Just not how the world works. As Alex Tabarrok has been known to point out. Of the some 30 million dwellings in the country 100% of them are going to be, in a century, owned by someone who is young or even unborn as yet.

It’s going to be tougher on those who don’t inherit well – at least if they choose to remain in the more expensive areas. Also, in California and some other US states by law a lot of new housing is being built as below market rate rental housing and is required to remain as such for 30 to 50 years, so a lot of that will… Read more »
