The article style isn't good, here I agree. However I disagree that people are "whiny". This is simply dismissing potentially valid complaints people have about the way housing in the UK is being financialised in order to extract the maximum possible economic rent over an individual's lifetime.

This is not about supply and demand, this is about the creation of money to drive up land costs. And it's not unique to London, as others have pointed out many parts of the UK are very expensive.

Life is change. This is a bad change and we should resist.
