| Comment | Been flat hunting recently, and it's outright shocking the condition of some tenements, all across the city. I'm talking ones in quite well sought after areas, that outwardly look great.
Viewed maybe a dozen flats, and all had signs of structural issues, even if the home report said otherwise. Most with significant cracks down the stairwells and back of the building.
It just shocked me a bit. I genuinely wonder what happens city-wide, over the next 30, 50, 75+ years say, when I think genuinely large swathes of the tenement stock will begin to be unviable for housing. Seems it'll properly fuck with the housing market locally (maybe hyperinflating the value of those tenements that are habitable and/or in good condition). It'll also probably need a comprehensive redevelopment of whole neighbourhoods across Glasgow. |
