Some quite out of touch comments in here, I think. Saying “unlikely they would imitate the stylish apartment blocks that can be seen in the likes of Paris or Rome.” when a large chunk of our population currently don’t have a hope of ever owning a home is pretty elitist, in my view.
They also mention 50m2 as being considered the minimum for banks to lend to you, I live in a three bedroom house that’s 100, a living space for one person can definitely be less than half that.
I really hope we can get more dwellings built that are affordable for a single person, that’s something currently missing from our market, I feel.
Because I’ve been alive and a renter in the last twenty years?
And that means these hypothetical new builds will be unaffordable?
You’re going to have to explain your reasoning here, we’ve had a shortage of housing for a very long time, how will ending that shortage not help?
Who’s talking about new builds?
The news article you’re commenting on?
Yet my comment wasn’t. Clearly.
You didn’t read the article, did you?
Course I did. I also read the part about developers being against it. Which was the topic of my comment. Which you didn’t read.
So, you read the article, and proceeded to start an argument about an entirely different topic?
No. That’s exactly what you did here though.
