| Comment | I think in reality you need a mix for the market.
Building by to rent is helpful in that it provides housing availability for renters, who otherwise would be turning to existing properties, jacking up demand for a finite housing stock.
We really need more housing of all different types to serve different purposes and take pressure off the market. All this rejection does is push more people into a limited supply of flats in the west end, so keeping rents inflated at a premium in existing hot spots. |
