00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo Houston-Betts and today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about housing.
00:05And specifically, with housing getting more and more expensive, we want to ask people, firstly, if they'd be willing to let their adult children move back in with them, potentially with their family, if they can't afford to buy a house, or whether on the younger end of the spectrum, younger people would be willing to spend that much more time living with their parents.
00:21I'd always be there for my son if he needed it, you know, he's doing well for himself, he lives with his mum, but I would always be there for him, you know, and it is very hard for the youth of today to get on the property ladder.
00:33Actually, when you're older, there is quite a sense of a community, but having like a 25 year old coming in at two in the morning is not something I would want.
00:42It's not cheap at the end of the day, unless you've got a bit of money behind you, and if I stay living at home in the current times.
00:48I mean, I have done it, I'd rather not do it. I guess if you've got no choice, you've got no choice, but we were lucky enough to be able to save to buy a house, I don't think a lot of people are in that position.
