I am seriously concerned about slums developing, even in relatively new housing estates, which is not good for anybody. Given that so much State money is being invested, it would be far better to ensure better outcomes. For example, there is a view that no more than 30% of houses in a private estate should be rented. We should try to maintain that proportion.
I have further queries. I have read the report and it seems that there were few rental agreements in place. Why? How can the matter be rectified?
