Enough with the 'affordable' housing that's neither affordable nor housing! When will they build for real people?

Seriously, why do we keep seeing these tiny flats marketed as 'affordable' when they cost an arm and a leg and are barely big enough to swing a cat in, let alone raise a family? We're building luxury boxes for investors while ordinary people are crammed into insecure rentals or priced out entirely. It’s a disgrace, especially when you see the kids in my class living in overcrowded conditions.

My proposal is simple: a nationwide 'Homes for All' initiative. Forget the developers' profits for a minute and focus on actual needs. We need councils to be given the power and funding to build thousands of genuinely affordable homes – not just a token few. These should be proper family homes, not shoeboxes, with good insulation and space for people to live, not just exist.
