It's frustrating as the developments and bars, restaurants etc need people living nearby to give it all a chance. We need to increase the population living in the city and its stalling

just been for a walk over the town, usually do it once a month or on a matchday and this site is letting the side down now....we can design and build a new state of the art eye hospital for the right price - theres foundations in now with the 2 high level cranes ready to start building. The support structures are starting to rise for the bridge and there busy on it today, really can start seeing in emerge from the banks of the wear now..The Culture house is flying up and will start to dominate that area soon..the Maker and Faber are in their last throws, expecting the scaffold to come down anytime,...but we cant seem to get it right to build the houses needed to get the people living there. 3/4 construction companies been and gone (granted tolent went under) but this seems to be the easiest build of any in the town centre but really nothing has happened for going on a for over year now! Must be 1.5+ years behind schedule at least

You say the eye hospital being the right price, buy that nearly never happened given the price shot up by about 70% or something. The difference with housing is the ability to sell them at realistic price & make a profit. Public sector buildings don't have that problem, if there's a need they still get built just costs the tax payer more. Currently sunderland doesn't have that demand more city centre young professional apartment type of building.

without going into the semantics of my wording or the pricing Im purely meaning that every development is moving apart from the housing
