Rising Prices Cause House "Apartheid"
涨价导致房屋的“种族隔离”
The Government has admitted that soaring house prices have left people on average incomes, such as teachers and nurses, locked out of buying their first homes across large parts of southern England, including London and most of the South East.
A spokeswoman for the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, admitted last night that there was now an effective "housing apartheid", with people in their own homes pulling further and further away from those yet to get on the property ladder.
With house prices rising at between 15 and 20 percent a year, incomes, which are rising at between 5 and 10 percent a year, cannot keep up.
"Increasing housing supply is a national priority. In large areas of the wider South East, house purchase remains out of reach for families with average household incomes," the official said．

A. They have to pay high price stamp duty.
B. Their incomes rise too slowly.
C. House supply is decreasing.
