But it is the question of affordability in relation to local wages
that is the cause for concern.

We have entire villages where the only locally born people there are
those who bought their homes decades ago and never moved. The rest
simply can't afford to buy. The sad fact is that the effect is also
spreading into the towns in East Yorks to the point that no locals
will be able to afford to buy.


So what?

I can't afford to buy a house in the town I was born in so I had to look
elsewhere. Why should people in villages or certain jobs get special
treatment? They will have to do the same as the rest of us. Buy cheap, maybe
in another town, work hard and eventually have enogh money to be able to buy
exactly where you want.
