Flats, flats gotta have flats. Let’s destroy our heritage and countryside to build more fucking homes!!!!!
No new apartment block ever gets built unless there is big profit to be made for the speculator. And comparatively very few houses are built for local need - there's no big profit in that.
When you consider the number of empty homes; homes bought by absent foreign investors and not lived in; 2nd homes occupied only for a few weeks a year, plus homes now let as holiday accomodation ..... it's not so much lack of housing, more that such a big percentage of housing isn't actually in use as homes.
