Yes, so far, so good
The "older generation" you refer to, at least in this part of the world, tend to live in smaller houses (terraces). In any case in a free society you cannot expect people with big houses to move in this way, but, and on this I concur, neither should society subsidise them. In the case of publicly owned housing there is a need to ensure that the housing stock is used to the maximum public benefit/lowest public cost, but one of the problems is that there has been a near complete lack of public sector development in recent years, even more so in 1- and 2-bedroom small flats and houses. In order to put any sort of mobility into train as you want we are going to need to build a lot more smaller, low cost housing
That's actually not such a bad idea, however I doubt that the current incumbents in Downing Street would have much stomach for such a fundamentally socialist approach to life
Just after the war thousands of prefabs were built for those bombed out.
Surely in this day and age prefabricated small well insulated bungalows could be designed at budget prices and sited on the thousands of sites derelict from factory closures.
I'm sure there are thousands who would be happy with a small warm one bedroom place with a small garden.

Yes. I'm sure there are. But we are now into our third successive government who won't build them! Ask your MP why
A.S. You cannot tar everyone with the same brush, i helped to look after an elderly lady in the street a few years ago, her husband died about 20yrs previously, she rattled around her 3bed 1930s semi, they had no kids, all she had were her memories, the house was paid long ago, then she moved into a home for the aged, her house was sold for £250k, most of which went to a charity after everything else was settled following her death.
I admit the palm trees need trimming, otherwise i tolerate it...
Bloody hell noseall, that image is nowhere else on the Internet, don't tell me that's your back garden. Never see anything so vulgar since I lived in America. You have guaranteed that nobody with any taste would want to build a house anywhere near yours.
raebhoop and jo90, if thats how you want to live, in a prefab, dont let anyone stop you, this is a free country, but please dont tell me where i should or should not live.
Well that depends. If you are having your housing paid for/subsidised by the taxpayer then it's perfectly OK for us to tell you where to live. The days when people could pick where they want to live then send the bill to the taxpayer are over in my book. If you cannot be bothered to get out of bed for less than ten pounds an hour then I'd put you in a caravan.
What i can't work out it why the sun lounger sizes vary so much.
I must have a word with the head butler or garden man.
