We all know its getting rediculous how many these flat addicts are buying in order to get rich quick. Most people have noticed flats, apartments, homes, even mansions lying empty in order to safeguard a wealthy retirement for the chosen few. The government should obviously set a maximum, but just how many? 2 I reckon, after that it becomes an "intention to supply".

2. Simple as that. One to live in and another for your family or a holiday home or to rent out until you retire. The members who suggests that you should be able to have as many as you like are missing the point. It is an addiction and one which should be legislated against. Everybody bangs on about how archaic and unfair the law is, but the same folk don't like new laws legislating against their capitalistic freedom either (not that there are many). There should be a law against multiple home ownership as it creates an imbalance in the long term economy. A longer time than a party is usually in power.

1) Please get it out of your head that there are a 'chosen few' ...
NO ONE is 'chosen' ... the 'rich' have work bl**dy hard for what they can scrimp & save from the never ending flood of Taxes keeping the unemployed (and unemployable) in the luxuary they have become accustomed to.
Getting Educated, achieveing meaningful qualifications and obtaining a decent job is becomeing harder and harder every year ... even sucking up to rich parents / grandparents is hard work ... you don't believe it, you try it sometime) ...
2) .. and as to the suggestion that 'the Government' should 'do something' .. the obvious question is 'why ????'
If there is one class of individual in UK that sucks more blood out us than the rest, it's MP's .. do you think for one moment that they will do anything that's against their own interests ???
Whilst Gorden was fleecing our Final Salary Pension schemes and condeming millions to poverty, MP's were voting themselves inflation busting pension increases !
3) Wake up & smell the money ! You want some ?
Then STOP choosing to be poor = your Question plainly shows you have chosen to be poor = and start choosing to be rich ..

There are people out there who would like to put restrictions on some of the things you do.
Be careful what you ask politicians to do.
