| Comment | It's student housing for graduates
I think they fulfil a specific niche - they're basically targeted at relatively well-paid young professionals who are coming to the city for work (e.g. Barclays, Morgan Stanley etc) , prefer to live centrally, might only be here for a year or two and don't want the hassle of figuring out viewings etc or dealing with private landlords, and are willing to pay over market rates for convenience and serviced apartments so they don't have to learn how to clean
It's not remotely a solution that will deal with the shortage of housing that affects the other 95% of the city's population, for that we need build-to-rent developments from not-for-profits at below-market rates: i.e. social housing
Anyway, trim that down and shove it in your Glasgow Live article |
