I can’t believe that despite importing 606,000 people last year we still have a housing shortage. Thank goodness that over all it is somehow a net benefit which must be a real consolation to people who don’t have a home.
i dont understand, all the city centers have eye boggling amounts of new build accommodation and i dont think student numbers are increasing so the situation should be improving.
Nearly all the new student housing near me got turned into flats for smack heads/council tenants/migrants since the pandemic because unis took so long to get people back into in person learning that landlords had their hands forced.
It does suggest that we need fewer people going to university if we cannot house them all, especially in towns or cities where more than one university exists. If we cannot (or will not) solve the problem by building more affordable student accommodation then we need to ask if so many young people really need to go to university in the first place.
I’m sure handing them over to asylum seekers will help
