Couldn't agree more mate, I have heard that the "Affordable" housing being built costs more than £10,000 over the average Manchester salary to buy or rent.

I am not arguing that what I am arguing is that we as a society should be utilising spaces for everyone and fuck market forces.
Mark my words there will be gated communities popping up all over the place for the people who want to live in Manchester without having to mix full time with the street people.
Just as an aside I went to Newcastle recently and you can't cross a road without fences sectioning off building sites, used to live walking around there but it's hard work now.
And strangely there seems to be more people sitting on blankets on the floor.

It’s weird that homelessness is the issue that constantly gets brought up on this thread.
It’s an issue that’s not really linked to the development going on in the city centre (for which there’s actually an argument to say it should grow the economy/create jobs/drag more families out of poverty across the region).
Homelessness is caused by:
1 - over a decade of austerity and cuts to public services.
2 - a complete lack of effort by any government to replace the social housing Thatcher sold off.
Put it this way, a 200m sky scraper is going to create jobs and boost the economy. A crappy, pot-hole ridden car park isn’t.

Drove to town last night, looks fantastic driving up the parkway, apart from all the high level lights being red!! Should be blue, suppose this is standard colours for aircraft recognition etc??
The usual flurry of of planning applications submitted before Christmas. 3 more towers.
Campus Living Villages wants to refurbish two existing blocks at Salford Shopping Centre and build a third 24-storey tower, a scheme that would more than double the number of student beds at the site.
The developer and student homes operator has lodged plans to add 794 bedspaces at its Pendleton scheme, located off Belvedere Road.
As well as the tower, which would feature 690 beds, Campus Living Villages wants to add two-storey upward extensions to John Lester Court and Eddie Coleman Court.

Jadebricks has submitted its proposals to Manchester City Council for consideration after consulting on the 15-storey development earlier this year.
Designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects, the project would see a long-vacant site on Charles Street transformed into a 107-bed scheme.
The project would be built on the surface car park between the recently completed Maldron Hotel and Bracken House and aim to provide an injection of beds into Manchester’s PBSA pipeline.

The developer wants to swap one co-living block out of its £400m First Street residential scheme to instead provide 555 student beds on the site bounded by Mancunian Way and Medlock Street.
The first and second phases of the £400m scheme, which topped out earlier this month, comprise a total of 1,894 co-living units across three blocks.

A HUGE milestone over at the SONA project in Ardwick, Manchester The scaffolding has started to be stripped and the brickwork is on display. We have been thrilled to be working on this project with RECOM Solutions Ltd in helping bring life back to a building that has stood dormant for several years

Added to the Renaissance scheme, we have three of the best sites in Manchester that will commence on site in 2024, with the residential and office buildings at Renaissance due to start in Q1 and – subject to planning – Upper Brook Street would start in Q2 2024.
