Scrutiny Matters Feedback - Affordable homes
Please for the young families on the island build more houses not flats . Bring back the states loan scene to enable this . Ensure they are only sold on to other families that are first time buyers . Stop developers building large houses many are laying empty . Ensure states tenants downsize! Look at states tenants who own properties abroad . Stop offshore investors buying flats and buy to let's . Knock down and build on a few dilapidated greenhouse sites by enforced purchase . Claim back some land from the sea and build small cottages or houses for families . If you don't act quick enough all the young people will move off island. We do are not a city we don't need huge amount of flats .. towns in uk with similar number of population do not have masses of flats .Just envisage your children and grandchildren only being able to live in a flat when they should be having a garden to have fun in . You will create ghettos!
