Why has no one pointed out that these 'homes' are hideous, cheaply-made, and are only proposing to solve a massive problem (housing shortage) on a temporary and short-term basis? Only a starchitect can get away with this it seems.

Don't these houses just show that good design is not affordable? Shouldn't we be tackling the issue at a higher level, in targeting the government to take the housing shortage more seriously and to invest in it appropriately? Rolling out these flatpack homes simply accepts the fact that the government is failing us, patching up the problem with a sub-standard solution.

Let's get high quality, affordable and equitable homes back on the agenda please.
