Housing is of great concern, particularly to those without their own home and/or in inappropriate accommodation. The fact that even if all the proposed new housing were affordable, it would not be sufficient should concentrate the mind of those influencing decisions.
The greatest demand is for smaller units for young/single people and the elderly. There are plenty of elderly people in inappropriate, large, unsustainable houses. Encouragement is needed for them to move to smaller units to free up large houses for families. A mix of housing supports good community support networks.
