Good that :) … sadly :(
Oh… the conflict!
Yeah. excellent piece of work.
I found the narrative a little difficult to follow. I fear this says more about me than the author.
This post has reminded me of the following argument. If anyone thinks it’s wrong I’d be interested to hear their perspective:
I’m getting the impression that soaring rents and increased homelessness are part of Government policy, rather than a ‘consequence of recovery.’
The only way NAMA could work and banks could get their money back was to re-inflate the housing bubble, after all.
Not to mention that ‘the powers that be’ in this country are usually owners of multiple properties. They’d hardly want see prices fall.
