"A car-wash manager in Alabama can now earn $125,000, about 50 per cent more than the head of cyber security at the UK Treasury" A bit off-topic but this sums up low-wage Britain pretty well right now. Your tiny house costs £1 million and we want to pay you £50k.

This is no coincidence. The entire point is to increase the wealth of the wealthiest fraction of a percent without disincentivizing the working class to keep showing up to work every day. Also note this is not a conspiracy but a structural tendency.

Yeap, low growth, low wages, keep the status quo.

Based on a cursory search... London doesn't even build 20k new housing units per year? Astonishing for a city of 9 million people and growing.

Wait until you see all the empty high rises sold to overseas investors lying empty. Like a ghost town around nine elms.
