Nick Millican comments about the UK´s housing trends. With recent revelations that the Metro Police had more say in neighborhood development than was good for these areas, the discussion about being comfortable in the neighborhoods lived in. 

People want to be able to stay in an area and set down roots, such as raising kids and getting to know the neighbors, the real estate agent notes. This makes the police making areas less inviting and insidious in how people feel about the nation’s capital, which real estate agent Nick Millican sees as bad for everyone. 

A term that has started going around for the love of the area someone lives is “social affection” and was penned by Irish journalist Mary Leland. Nick Millican adds that it points toward why people want and need a neighborhood to be fully happy in their lives.

Too many people bounce around, especially when they are younger, but this is changed when they finally find somewhere they feel is home, Nick Millican comments. Few people want to be nomads their entire lives, so they search for somewhere that is great for them and their dreams. 

London has many neighborhoods that have a rich history, which is threatened by overdevelopment and improper government plans, Nick Millican finally states. Having a home is important, which can lead to less crime and far more content citizens. People who feel like their homes are under attack will react badly, so many want to let these areas develop as they will, not as the government and corporations want.
