'Affordable'. Aye right
Doesn't say they're supposed to be in the article. It's a shit nothing phrase anyway, everything is affordable to someone.'Affordable'. Aye right

It looks like the right way forward to me. City centres are shrinking rapidly as retail moves more and more online. Having 2,500 people living within walking distance increases the chances of creating a smaller, thriving city centre
Not sure if it's a London only thing, but here 'affordable' is defined and it means 80% of full market value.Doesn't say they're supposed to be in the article. It's a shit nothing phrase anyway, everything is affordable to someone.
That's what I see every time a new load of houses are going up.
It's absolute bollocks.
They're not building "affordable" housing anymore because there's no money in it for them.
If I won Euromillions big style, I'd be tempted to buy some land to build an estate of actually affordable homes for people.
It wouldn't stop people moaning about things mind, but it might mean there's one less new estate of 3 bedroom vertical shoeboxes that are "detached" because there's a 2ft gap between the houses but you can still hear each other take a dump

that’s because affordable housing isn’t affordable to build I suspect? I Think the definition they use to define affordable tends to be 80% of market value (the profit element on housing usually) however what they do is sell the affordable housing to a Registered Social Landlord (Gentoo or whoever) and then they rent them out so the affordable homes don’t necessarily come to market to sell, but they do to rent. I believe.
I’d be surprised if they make much profit on this as the house types are non-standard, supposedly off site construction, built to passiv haus standards, with renewables, oh and on a brownfield site.
Correct. Well it's affordable in the sense that it costs less than say an estate of 3/4 bed houses, but it's not in the sense that they won't make enough profit from the sale to make it worth building in the first place
