I guess the UK has a lot of rich people as well - come to think of it, most the of the USA is quite poor compared to the big cities, and certainly compared to most of Europe.
We do, but thats not why the house prices are so expensive. Nobody can really afford the prices of the houses so everyone just gets big massive mortgages.

I think the US still comes out somewhat ahead income-wise, hard to compare though.
Up in Yorkshire, and a great location for York and Leeds. I really like it!
That is a lovely house, looks to me like it's in a rural area, so why so costly? That's one of the big appeals for me to moving to an out-of-way area here in the States (not to mention the climate ), it's a whole heck of a lot cheaper than even Atlanta.
I think that should be added to the dictionary as a definition of insanity...lol. That's why the NE US has always been off-limits in my mind, same as Oregon, etc - just way, way too costly - it's a wonder that poor people can even survive in a place like that.
theres plenty of studio flats to rent in brighton for around £600 per month + bills which is ridicilous! if one was working on min wage full time they would only make enough to pay rent for the studio and bills... and then starve themselves to death.
my best friend that i went to school with moved to Leeds, she pays £390 (bills inc) for her studio there... and I pay £360 (bills inc) just for a room in somebody's house... but that is considered cheap as most rooms for rent cost around 400-450 here

Yeah it's in a small village, but it's close to 2 cities. It's actually very cheap though, it's certainly not expensive by UK standards. I'd certainly be interested in buying it if I was living in the area again.
