Nine years on, I still can’t buy a home
Share this:
From Karl Renouf.
I AM 25, have been employed ever since leaving school at 16, and still cannot afford to move out of the family home.
I’ve heard all about these first-time buyer houses being built and that things will be easier for younger people to move out, but I see nothing to this effect. This Island is fast becoming a laughing-stock, and I want out as quickly as I can.
Luckily for me, my grandparents were born in England after their parents were evacuated during the Occupation, so I don’t have that ridiculous stamp in the back of my passport which stops me working elsewhere in Europe.
Maybe States Members in charge of housing should take a severe pay cut and try living here. They have it easy. They get big wages and allowances.
