I was amused to see the inevitable call for more “affordable housing” in the comments. Leaving aside the fact that housing is generally becoming all too affordable, I can confirm (as a local) that there is already far too much affordable housing in the area, judging by the crowds of shambling soap dodgers one sees drifting through the streets on the rare occasions one is in the area during the day.
