It seems to me the same old news item that we have seen before and for which we can do nothing but retell some old stories.
What am I waiting for exactly?
Well I was hoping for some debate on the issue of how the mass migration from London for example ( Its happening in Brum as well) are impacting the affordability of suitable places for prepper families as both factions appear to be seeking very similar spec properties. EG as AL explained to me he originally wanted to move up Weardale to a more self reliant property but the prices of the properties from Bishop Auckland and moving inland have rocketed lately ( Against the regional trend of falling prices in the north east) The prices of suitable homes even with smaller plots of land are making the upper dales more expensive driving families like AL further and further away. he has ended up in NW Scotland cos he gets better value for money.
Basically the traditional types of property that appealed to ordinary prepper families is getting more expensive and harder to find as the white flighters from London with more money are driving up prices.
That directly affects many preppers and the search for affordable secure and safe locations becomes very topical.
Previously we only had to contend with the urban good life types to compete with, but now we are getting tens if not hundreds of thousands of wealthier Londoners buying the properties we need.
