Re: We need more of this type of home

Strange that ninety odd years ago in an impoverished country seized by a huge depression where people were literally starving...councils countrywide were able to build hundreds of new council estates.
But in this age of high technology and wealth they can't even get close to solving the housing problem.

It's not a simple choice .
Because there is no land to build loads of bungalows on .
Who are nimbys who are against building bungalows ?

Not many people would choose to live in high-rise flats especially now after the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Re: We need more of this type of home

Loads of people do choose to live in high rise flats.
Most people in cities live in high rise flats and not just the poor ( look at the Shard)
Not just in the UK but all over the world.
People like to live in cities mainly for the employment opportunities cities are not made up of bungalows.
