Housing crisis: ‘The pressures are already there’ #Housing #crisis #pressures #englishheadline

The looming fear of high population growth is expected to put economic pressures on the housing market but “the pressures are already there”, says demographer Simon Kuestenmacher.

“We were negligent in not providing enough housing, not providing enough infrastructure for that big population growth that we actually knew we wanted as a nation,” Mr Kuestenmacher told Englishheadline Business Editor Ross Greenwood.

“On top of this, for decades we didn’t build enough social housing.”
