| Comment | I both agree and don't. The issue I have with student housing in the city is that it seems the majority of it that has gone up in the last few years *isn't* student housing exactly, it's luxury student housing that's expensive.
That doesn't do anything for the average student as they can't afford to live there, and just spurs the universities to keep recruiting heavily for overseas students because they can point to the shiny new accommodation that's within *their* budget, which actually does nothing to resolve the pressure on housing.
If they could guarantee that this would be cheap and cheerful housing then that's a different situation. |
