A new thread for anyone interested in calmly discussing suggestions for workable and non-punitive ways of helping those who need social accommodation without making things worse for those who already have it.
For instance - anyone out there with knowledge of the relative costs of traditional newbuild, flat-pack, and renovation/conversion? Of the planning aspects of community creation on new/conversion sites? On marketing change to those who fear their support systems (for the able as well as the vulnerable) would be lost if they left their present homes?
The plight of those trying to raise families in bedsits goes without saying, as does the welfare of the most vulnerable. No need to expound on those, they are a given. What about the rest? They have rights and expectations too, and those include secure tenancy of the home they have created and a reasonably predictable and steady rent.
Will repeat part of this post on a new thread. I hope it will attract thoughtful posters.
