The Yuppies Are On The March!

These are the people who are driving up the price of houses and everything else. This band of rich yuppies are already shaping how we live and how are cities will evolve in the future. These are the very decadent people who will take us back to another Victorian age.

Already thousands of former council housing, which have been transferred over to Registered Social Landlords RSL’s, have been demolished to make way for new build houses for sale. Very few new houses are being built for rent. Behind all this are money grabbing overpaid RSL managers (some of them earning up to £200, 000 and lets not forget the housing development yuppies who are buying up all the small terraced housing throughout the UK and thus pushing houses prices up to such a level that ordinary folk can not afford them.

If you want to see these money grabbing yuppies just go to a housing auction in any city and you will find them like greedy little pigs rubbing their hands in joyful anticipation at what they are about to get their hands on. As well as the big Fat Cat property developers, such as the Duke of Westminster, these yuppies are just as much to blame for the lack of affordable social housing and the sky high rises in private landlord rents.

Go to the two-link s on the Panorama sight and see how these people are living the life of luxury and creating a one way path back to Victorian times for us working folk:
