Long Island has suffered under governments that have ignored epic shifts while continuing to offer up lousy services, worse traffic, ugly development, unaffordable housing and criminal investigations.

"What kind of housing are they going to have - unaffordable housing?"

They could be forced to leave not only their apartments but also Manhattan, an isle of increasingly unaffordable housing.

"Long Island doesn't have affordable housing because developers make more money building unaffordable housing," Mr. Amper said.

The report found that housing prices have grown three times faster than the average household income, making housing virtually unaffordable for some Valley residents.

They make too much money building unaffordable housing.

If you don't let new buildings rise to meet the demand, you are guaranteeing a housing shortage and thus unaffordable housing to most.

And this is despite Li Keqiang who named HK's unaffordable housing as a key concern a day before his visit.

I really disagree with this.There are many companies producing unaffordable housing getting no gong.

At a regional level, the problem of unaffordable housing is no longer confined to London and the South East, but now affects almost the whole of England.
