Ireland,

I and my family need a house to live in as much as anybody else....I would much rather houses be placed under a proper price control formula so that everybody can get into decent accomodation...I would suggest their sould certainly be no more than 20 percent profit permissable on a residential premises after the estimated cost of building such a premises..so my little 2 up 2 down shoebox would probably cost no more than £40.000 to buy...this would be a real move to social justice..of course individuals or organisations would not be able to buy up multiple premises....I wouls suggest nobody should own more than 2 houses...these measures would not only take the need for ever increasing salaries out of the system,but would by giving people a chance to own a home near to their place of employment would eliminate the daily and deadly stampede of workers all trying to jam into overcrowded public transport systems...here in London their would also be no justification for introducing the "congestion charge" which with all its cameras and beauracracy is a truly Orwelian nightmare happening before our eyes in London..and if not stopped coming to a major city near you (whichever country you may be in) very soon..
It realy wouldnt matter if my home was reduced to a much mmore modest value if all other residential homes were priced in the same way..short of me selling up and going to live in a tent..these artificialy inflated values are meaningless..
