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.
