For locals, in terms of getting on the property ladder, it is not fair that higher earners can sell their expensive homes and pick up a 'bargain' house or have a holiday home, which undisputedly pushes up house prices for locals.
It is a very selfish attitude, no one can deny, however unfortunately that is life.
People may have worked hard at school and work to achieve this but unfortunately, I think greed takes over some people, while locals who live there all their lives with the daily/seasonal pros and cons and have either chosen or possibly not chosen to stay there, have therefore reduced opportunity to buy a house in their local area.
Just my views.
