As much as Jim hates to post in politics, he has a solid point. This discussion has illuminated some key differences in outlook. I am always surprised and frankly chilled by the level of government intervention in housing in GB. It is the result of our different histories. In the US we started with freely available property. It would be a huge mistake to adopt a European model derived from a feudal relationship with the State. The issue at hand, health care, seems somewhat different...
