Prince William to build social housing on Duchy land and end homelessness

[JP1]

Widely spun out on the news channels today

It's one thing making his children aware of the issue as did his Mother but quite another to solve the issue

 

[Bald Rick]

Won’t have an issue getting planning …. Or will he?


People have been homeless since humans emerged from the sea. He’s a bit of a fool thinking he’ll solve the problems governments never have

 

[The Seeker]

Better build fast for migrants crossing daily

 

[Still Farming]

His land wont be compulsory purchased like the rest of us if faced the issue possibly?

 

[matthew]

Build homes on Duchy land - and evict your tenants?
Swop one category of 'homeless' by creating another.

 

[grainboy]

Know of land David Wilson homes bought, failed to get planning.
Sold to the Duchy,
Oh, planning granted, funny that,

 

[Poorbuthappy]

Solving / ending homelessness I'm guessing is the press spin on it rather than the expectation of the Prince?

 

[bobk]

Social housing doesn't mean cheap housing

 

[toquark]

You won’t end homelessness by building houses. The problems run much deeper than access to housing.

 

[Hilly]

How dose it work if your homeless ? He aint just going to build you a new house is he ?

 

[cb387]

Will he build a new school, hospital, water treatment plant and power station as well so not to stretch current local facilities?

 

[Devil's advocate]

Will he build a new school, hospital, water treatment plant and power station as well so not to stretch current local facilities?

The taxes on it will & more besides.

Naive to say the least ...

Good sound bite for the PR machine that's all ......

 

[serf]

But he won't want to "concrete over the countryside" will he ?
That will go against his green credentials

 

[Hilly]

Good sound bite for the PR machine that's all ......

Bull sh!t you mean

 

[serf]

Bull sh!t you mean

Yes but the Royalty don't use that term !
Well not in public anyhow

 

[Hilly]

Yes but the Royalty don't use that term !
Well not in public anyhow

Im not royal im realist

 

[serf]

Im not royal im realist

Me too

I like the sentiment but how many homeless in the big smoke will exchange their city life of being able possibly to beg and fast access to drugs and drink to a house in say princetown, the bleakest and quietest village I’d pay strong money not to have to live in. There’s far more problems than providing a roof, there’s a proportion that already own property but cannot live in them for various reasons
