  3.  @voidvector  You are correct - they have far better property rights than the US. They buy the house and they own it - NO property taxes nothing and it can never be taken off them excepting a mortgage default

  4. This is why the UK should just subcontract EVERYTHING to China. Just admit we cant do it and pay the Chinese - £20 billion and HS2 would have been running 5 years ago. Like the housing crisis we cant fix cos we have no builders - just give the specifications to China and let them ship us pre fabricated houses we can put up in a day with unskilled labour and then we clad them in the appropriate brick or stone for the area. Swallow the pride and lets just get things DONE. They could build pre fabricated schools for 1/5th the cost of a brick built school - flat pack on a ship, stop pretending we can still do stuff.
