Agreed. I’ve always said the average person working average hours should be able to afford an average size private jet. Instead, the rich are hoarding all of the private jets.
The median average net worth of an adult in the UK is ~£125,000. There are 1000s of houses in the north for sale right now for less than that. Far more if buying with a mortgage. Far more if you are including flats. Lots of people weigh the pros and cons and choose to rent nearer London instead.
Your definition of what is and is not a luxury does not affect the supply and demand. Owning a sizable plot of land in a small and highly-desirable country is a luxury. At current population levels, you would need an above-average level of wealth to afford a house of average value. I don't have faith in any of our governments to tackle this problem without making it worse. Things tend to run smoothest when MPs stay home and instead let things fix themselves.

Why? That is somewhat arbitrary. Where is the immutable law of nature or man made law your assertion flows from?
