| Comment | That's how the market works. There's red hot demand for housing supply, so there's an strong impetus for private developers to build housing to then be rented at market rates. More supply though is a good thing.
That's not to say anything against social housing. Social housing is also fantastic, and we obviously need much more of it as well.
But this is a private development on privately owned land. The council has opportunities in lots of other council-owned pockets of land to build social housing. Which it has been doing a lot of over the last five years, and is planning to continue doing, as per its [current housing investment strategy](https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=44876&p=0) which will see 6,500 housing units built in the next five years. |
