Just an alternate view. Your observation makes me wonder why people were moaning about residential properties being converted in to student accommodation / HMOs. I agree that “n” would need to live somewhere other wise. Some would probably live with their parents, some would stay in their own...

Ha ha. TBH I just got sick of the repeated sob story and generalisation over and over again. It is hysteria. I don’t know anyone who owns more than the property they live in. The issue seems to be availability of affordable housing as starter homes which are of no interest to the average...
