Essex is busy. Too much traffic, too many people, too many houses, not enough room. Living in rural areas is only affordable if you're rich. Working class people like myself can only just about afford to live in small apartment buildings in the midst of all the crowds, noise and pollution.
What I'd give to live in a cottage surrounded by fields and trees. But you can only afford to live like that if you have thousands, if not millions of pounds.
Why do they make housing so unaffordable in the UK?
I dunno, but if it's any consolation it's as bad or worse in Canada and it's not like we're all out of land/space or anything - we just can't build housing fast enough for population growth via immigration. Especially since tons of homes get bought by investors and no one lives in them.
It's still possible to live inexpensively in small towns, though. If you're willing to live small town life way away from any of the major cities people can still actually afford to live. But you have to want to live very small town life and be able to handle long snowy winters.
But to live where people Want to live? It's ridiculously expensive - just like London.
