Need and greed - interesting theory, but there's a massive gap between 13,000 and 50,000. Surely greed relies upon fulfilling a need/demand and they can't be relying upon people having an extra 3 houses in addition to the one they live in. Or is it purely holiday homes down there? |
13,000 is to fulfil the needs of the current population & their dependants.
The further 37,000 I assume will be a combination of second homes, retirees from elsewhere & inner city overspill. A lot of people are being priced out of social housing in London & elsewhere by developers, they will have to live somewhere.
You can buy a new two bed semi here for less than you would pay for a bedsit in London.
I'm not against development but it has to be sustainable.
This much in a County the size of Cornwall, geographically very small, & with very poor infrastructure isn't sustainable. Quite the opposite. |
