Build it ‘somewhere else’ is no answer

The housing crisis

Sir, – I think we all agree that we are in urgent need of more accommodation in this country. However, judging by all the challenges to proposed buildings, we all want this accommodation to be built somewhere else, and “not in my area”.

Unfortunately “somewhere else” does not want these buildings either. That leaves us with quite a dilemma. Where do we build this accommodation? While we consider this question, we need to keep in mind all of those people desperately looking for somewhere to live. – Yours, etc,

PAULA MOLLOY,
