Letter: This Is How We Must Approach Housing In The Future

THERE are some 227,000 private renters possibly having eviction notice from rent arrears owing to the Covid-19 virus.

It’s all very well evicting these people but where will they go?

We will see thousands of families living on the streets.

Isn’t it time to stop paying rent to another person?

It might appear to be a good investment for the owners, but what about those trying to pay the rents we are seeing, all in the name of a market economy.

Rents never end, those paying rent often can’t save for their old age and will be claiming housing benefits while being retired, and many are having higher rents paid by the State anyway.

The money the government or taxpayers are giving to the private landlords could be used to build some real affordable houses.

It is said we need to build three million homes so, why not employ the developers to build three million affordable homes on land that has got planning permission or any near developments where permission has not been given.

We could build a living home for about £100,000, add the services, still £120,000.

We are told the corn harvest could be 40 per cent down and the cost of bread will go up.

There is a case for growing more fruit and vegetables so on new developments there should be a new layout and design where we include a self-sufficient garden to grow a healthier food supply for the residents, open space to prevent mental health issues and include sports areas for keeping people fit, thus saving the National Health Service and care sector millions of pounds.

Also include working from home so saving travelling so much and having less traffic gridlock and less air pollution.
