nutty Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Was thinking last night about Ibo's complaints about ridiculous house prices and newbies moving into the area not contributing anything.Well, I'm a relative newbie (been here 5 years) and have so far made two long-standing residents well off by buying their houses for enormous profit on what they originally paid, and I also make a point of shopping locally to support local businesses. Ergo - I feel a little cross when someone moans at me for pumping so much cash into where they live. Ibo - I presume you don't own a house in ED, else you wouldn't be so cross about the prices? Possibly feeling a bit upset about not investing in the days where a two bed flat cost <100k (only about 5-6 yrs ago)? I apologise if my being able to afford a house around here now offends Ibo. I moved to ED because I got a great vibe from the place when I looked around and had heard great things about it. In my 5 years of living here my initial impression has only been reinforced and I have seen enormous improvements. This forum is the first place I've ever heard anybody moan about newcomers in ED and be so negative, but I can only assume you are one of a few who don't appreciate the massive improvements in ED in the last few years.Looking back 5 years I can only think of one thing that was better - the Uplands :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/140-moving-to-east-dulwich-where-to-live/page/2/#findComment-1863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
