Oh come on Dave! Chill out a bit mate, Roger didn't mean that as an insult to anyone, he's not like that. All he meant was that people with a high income and money to spend will want better housing than those of us who are maybe in the lower wage sector and can't afford to spend quite as much on a house, including first time buyers who are just starting out as home owners. Those with a high income will buy bigger houses in more select areas and having done so will then spend money locally which will improve trade in the town.
There will always be areas where houses are more expensive because that is reality, doesn't mean the people in them are better people, just that they are better off financially. I don't suppose there's anyone reading this forum that wouldn't buy a bigger and better house if they won the lottery! I know I would
You know it makes sense!
