House prices were affordable in the 90s, especially in some regions of London e.g Northwest, East London. Somalis got duped by the same timo jilacs who ran the masjids telling them not to buy houses and were doing the same things themselves. Now we out here with the same social mobility and wonder why our children are qasaaro and falling into crime and whatnot. Ive said it before on here but an immigrant that comes today is on the same social mobility ladder as a somali who came here in the 90s and that's a damn shame.Big difference is, south Asians came to the U.K. in the 1960s, where houses were dirt poor, Somalis came in the 1990s/2000s, where houses prices were too high already.
The only option for Somalis to afford a home without haram mortgage Riba (which is a major sin) is to move up north, plenty of cheap cities up north, Sheffield, leeds etc which has high Somali population and Somalis have been buying properties up north.
londoners stop moaning, get out of your comfort zone
