Its a very good tbf accurate. Apartments to rent are grand in the city for mid twenties who are just out of college and starting out in the real world. The problem is these funds buying housing estates where young families need a home. It’s so dysfunctional that the goverment are not blindly making mistakes but facilitating it
It’s a bizarre set up. IGB owns the building with the facilities but the track itself is privately owned.

I lived in a 2 bed apartment in Queens of for nearly ten years and I loved it.Its grand for young single people if your not being ripped off.I don’t see why people wouldn’t live in them.

No problem for young single person. Couldn’t imagine trying to raise a young family. Need some sort of outdoor space to have them run around.
They must have done a deal with someone to get a cash injection at some stage? They can hardly complain if that company decide they want pay back.
That’s the thing you should be able to sell on your apartment to someone younger and upgrade yourself to a house as you get older.

Unfortunately not if it’s a small number of super landlords who can er, influence the market rates.
“Tax them til their pips squeak” springs to mind.
The mom and pop landlords being forced out is government policy.

It’s hard to see where all the new homes will come from and who will build them. People are now clutching at the remote working straw - maybe it will work for some people

It may do. That’s where the great doomsayers of automation are wrong I think. We are great at inventing jobs. Like health and safety.
