Unsurprising research: housing

Surprise: London's affordable housing quotas are being met in the cheapest possible way. Well I never.

A London Assembly report concluded that developers would rather build one-bed affordable homes despite family housing being the greatest need - and as a result, there is a surplus of 12,000 one-bed shoeboxes and a shortfall of more that 28,000 family homes. And apparently some of the unscruplous bastards are labelling as 'affordable' homes that cost £400,000.
