I think it's good news as there is a shortage of student accommodation in Glasgow. Hopefully this will free up more private let flats for families and non-students and in time rents can go down as supply will meet or exceed demand.
It's also nice to see a huge accommodation block constructed with no provision for cars!
It does seem as though [poor Billy will get covered up](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ck5pxrpdd3wo) when the construction commences. |
