REAL ESTATE, PLEASE DO YOUR THING. @MayorofLondon wants empty offices, shops and hotel rooms in which to house homeless people during this freezing weather. @LdnPropAlliance is rallying real estate companies to help. More in @EGPropertyNews (no paywall) egi.co.uk/news/gla-calls-on-…

Oh nothing just an urban planner from overseas praising the excellent quality of new housing and commercial developments in London. And he’s right. London is a stunning city, and generally (not always) gets new development spot on. Privilege to live here.

I recently spent time in London and visited some new mixed-use developments. I was blown away by what I saw – and there is so much that we can learn in the Toronto context, including the need for better but fewer materials, more colour, less roads and more varied site plans. 🧵

Worrying.

🧵🪡 Yesterday evening a balcony collapsed in onto the street in my apartment building, just 4 years after construction. The building, whose freeholder is Barking & Dagenham Council, was constructed by @BouyguesUK on behalf of @lbbdcouncil ‘s social and affordable housing company, BD Reside. All 414 properties are now considered “unsafe” and we will need to erect scaffolding in across the entire estate to keep ourselves and the public safe. #Leasehold #BuildingSafety #HousingCrisis #LBBD #BarkingAndDagenham #HousingReform

NEWS: St.Pancras station unveiled its Christmas tree today! We know, but it is a beauty. It's covered in books and there are cubby holes around the bottom where you can sit and read.

“Local builders have been squeezed out of the market,” Berry says. “We know that consumer satisfaction is higher for smaller housebuilders, because their reputation depends on building quality homes. The volume builders just turn up, build, then move on.”

I went on crap homes safari to find out why Britain's new-build housing is so rubbish. Here's what I found theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Cracked tiles, wonky gutters, leaning walls – why are Britain’s new houses so rubbish?

Buying a brand new property these days is often less of a dream home, more a living nightmare. With housebuilders – and their shareholders – making huge profits, how come so many new builds aren’t up...

🔺Investigation: Britain’s homeless children. I’ve spent time with 2 families in Stockport and London with no where to live, navigating a broken housing system. At one primary school, half of the pupils are homeless, living in temporary accommodation. itv.com/watch/news/one-famil…

One family every eight minutes given no-fault eviction notice from rented property - Latest From...

Watch the latest from ITV News - Research by Shelter, shared exclusively with ITV News, found that 172 families are being made homeless every day, totalling 5,223 per month.

Great to have @SimonPeterHunt of @EveningStandard on board with the idea of reclaiming London's many, and large, golf courses for housing, parks and wildlife. standard.co.uk/comment/londo…

We should reclaim all London land used for golf

It is time to declare war on golfers.
