| Comment | The completed Build to Rent development next to Barclays bank are £1200 per month! And while I get these developments may be targeting well paid workers from the banks.
The entire thing stinks, the housing market is fucked and so the solution being approved is build yet more unaffordable rent stock. We've went from the financialisation of housing, to now witnessing commercialisation.
The other issue here is besides affordability, renters tend to be transient, they arent settling into an area for very long. That invariably means less long term engagement and meaningful communities. |
