I think there is a major assumption being made here that people who live in detached social housing would want to move into apartment buildings. Many people who I know that live in social housing do not want to live in apartment buildings.
It has been mentioned several times by my colleague in the Chair, that there are existing development corporation groups who have money available now that would probably, if this motion passes, want to get into this type of business.
My third comment is the same as my colleague for Thebacha, that we heard the government housing strategies yesterday, the government is getting out of the housing market and here we are turning around and building more government apartments. At this stage I would oppose this motion.
