so the number of people actually fully owning their home is up

2020-01-22 10:34:33 UTC  

but the number of people owning a home fully or with mortgage in total is down

2020-01-22 10:34:38 UTC  

There's a 25 yr lag on full ownership

2020-01-22 10:34:46 UTC  

ye

2020-01-22 10:34:52 UTC  

Yes

2020-01-22 10:34:59 UTC  

is there any reports based on generations?

2020-01-22 10:35:05 UTC  

I can look

2020-01-22 10:35:07 UTC  

There has been

2020-01-22 10:35:17 UTC  

But it's interesting that council is being replaced by housing association

2020-01-22 10:35:20 UTC  

It shows exactly what you'd expect it to be

2020-01-22 10:35:22 UTC  

I think that's a good thing, I think

2020-01-22 10:35:26 UTC  

Thats by design, Kunarian

2020-01-22 10:35:35 UTC  

Councils started offloading property in the late 80s

2020-01-22 10:35:36 UTC  

would be interesting to see something that is like cohort based

2020-01-22 10:35:49 UTC  

@Eccles what was the main political reason to do so

2020-01-22 10:35:51 UTC  

cost saving or?

2020-01-22 10:36:06 UTC  

Cost saving, right-to-buy, not wanting to be responsible for it

2020-01-22 10:36:30 UTC  

Typical government thing - privatise shit and then we can't be blamed when it goes wrong

2020-01-22 10:36:47 UTC  

It's why all the roads are shit

2020-01-22 10:36:55 UTC  

tbh I'm half sure that the issues we're facing can all be traced back to people living longer and the proportion of young people shrinking

2020-01-22 10:37:00 UTC  

are roads privatized in the uk?

2020-01-22 10:37:08 UTC  

no

2020-01-22 10:37:08 UTC  

yes and no

2020-01-22 10:37:09 UTC  

generally no

2020-01-22 10:37:09 UTC  

No, Cabbage, but the maintenance of them is contracted out

2020-01-22 10:37:19 UTC  

Whereas it used to be done in-house

2020-01-22 10:37:35 UTC  

finding a private road is hard and its normally connecting to a home or business

2020-01-22 10:37:44 UTC  

It's why the roads are shit, and will continue to be shit

2020-01-22 10:37:55 UTC  

The maintenance model is totally unfit for purpose

2020-01-22 10:37:58 UTC  

as if state run road maintenance is cheaper and more efficient

2020-01-22 10:38:00 UTC  

but we can sue for problems on the roads

2020-01-22 10:38:08 UTC  

They're still shit, wladfa

2020-01-22 10:38:09 UTC  

so if you fuck up your wheel because of a pot hole

2020-01-22 10:38:15 UTC  

anything done for the state is automatically 300% more expensive and 300% more shit tbh

2020-01-22 10:38:16 UTC  

so it's kinda sorta ok

2020-01-22 10:38:16 UTC  

An interesting bit of data on my search

2020-01-22 10:38:19 UTC  

but still annoying

2020-01-22 10:38:46 UTC  

@Cabbage not sure i'd want private roads

2020-01-22 10:39:08 UTC  

Wladfa, you can't sue for the 99% of cases where the constant use of poor quality roads is significantly reducing the life of your car and increasing your chances of an accident

2020-01-22 10:39:30 UTC  

true
