Similar situation for York -- tourist hotspot, a large chunk of the local jobs in tourism/customer service, retail, food service etc. Article in the local press in the last year (which I obviously can't find now) found that something like 95% of the properties on sale were unaffordable on the median wage of a local resident.

And then you get articles like this one: https://yorkmix.com/york-is-the-norths-property-hotspot-as-i... Funny thing is, this article happens to be a total submarine -- I recognise the development they're describing, it's been there for years and has not sold well (totally overpriced) -- this article and others like it are just an attempt to drum up further demand.

Really frustrating that when we have so many people needing housing, homes are built entirely with the objective of selling them to people who already have homes elsewhere!

First houses should have priority over second houses please.
