Proponents argue that it increases the supply of affordable housing and addresses housing shortages. Opponents argue that it interferes with the housing market and can be costly for taxpayers.

Yes but they should prioritise brownfield sites and ensure that existing villages and towns are not over populated: i.e. boost the criteria and requirements for ensuring roads, infrastructure, schools, doctors, dentists etc. can cope with the additional populations. Otherwise, the houses sell but everyone’s quality of life decreases.
@B2WQYCF1wk1W
Affordable housing is just a political slogan. Prices are determined by supply and demand. The question makes no attempt to try and offer a potential method of achieving 'affordable housing'.
@B2L782T3wks3W
Housing is a human right. Affordable housing is an ineffective stop-gap measure. An effective solution would be to provide free, governmental housing instead.
@B2GQ4R71mo1MO
Yes, but not to blotch and destroy landscape. They should promote affordable apartments and build up to stop destroying the land
@thelouisharding 2mos2MO
Yes as long as it is built to an exceptionable standard, unlike what we see today. Also, there is a need for better checks on those who receive them.
@9QK5TTB8mos8MO
Yes, but not on green belt land. Abandoned and dilapidated buildings should be demolished and the land re-used
@9QHV95Z8mos8MO
Yes, but with an infrastructure that can sustain new homes being built I.e new schools, GP surgeries etc.
@9QH2MWH8mos8MO
as long as the homes were of good quality, not over populated and amenities were built alongside these to accommodate a growing population and reduce traffic
