As a Midlander, I went to work in the southeast (not London) after University in 1970 and despite a "cheap" mortgage available from my company (Legal & General), I realised that I could not hope to buy in that area, so worked on a plan to return to the Midlands, which I did in 1978.
Today's problems are no different. Pure supply and demand in varying areas of the country, and until the population comes under control, it will never be resolved. Climate change is no different - 30% of the world's population born THIS century.
