Ah yes, but the key problem in areas like the Lake District is the difficulty of building due to the location.... exactly its appeal of course. One analysis of the UK's housing crisis is that while there is a shortage of affordable/social housing, there is also a maldistribution of what is available; dwellings are in the wring places, and the places where prices are high have (parallel to the Lake District) physically less space for building....

@ChrisMayLA6 Sounds like a potential business opportunity for converting houses to afforable housing perhaps?

I could imagine tenants buying bigger houses, dividing them up into small apartments and then selling or renting them out.


@h4890

already happening to some extent under the acronym HMO (house of multiple occupancy); some private landlords are login exactly that, not that the conditions of the rentals are particularly high, nor the tenants well treated
