I work with a guy who was born in London. He moved near me and bought a very nice 3 bed semi-detached house with his g/f a few years ago, cost about £110,000. He told me they weren't able to afford to buy any property there :NoNo:

Boris Johnson has come under fire amid reports he is set to approve plans for 98 "affordable" flats that could cost up to £2,800 to rent.

The London Mayor is expected to consent to the building of these “affordable rent” apartments on the site of the Royal Mail’s Mount Pleasant sorting office in central London, according to the Guardian, in a move which critics said undermined the idea of providing housing to the most needy.
