But that is a start and if we can get more shared occupancy that would also help. We could make it less attractive to have second homes, holiday homes etc. Make it more attractive to build starter homes - many estates around us are mostly larger dwellings (still no garden) and much more expensive. It's almost certainly that building 5 detached houses is more profitable that 10 semi's or 20 maisonettes that could occupy the same space - but then parking would be an issue.
And what about vacant flats/apartments? Are they counted in the Big Issue figures?
