Housing emergency but can't make buy to rent commercially viable in central Edinburgh resulting in propsed PBSA. Something wrong with somebody's calculations. Is it greed?

Thank god: more housing for students! Why would the city want just, you know, dense housing?

Oh ugh, just what I want across the road. I really need to start responding to some consultations and sending some emails, but I have such a backlog 😬

The fact that this is the plan tells you all you need to know about the state of Edinburgh and who those in charge deem as important.

Seems to be a lot of people complaining about housing for students, not "local people". All housing helps. - students are people who need somewhere to live too.

Edinburgh The hollowing out of Edinburgh continues. These developers know fine well that student numbers are dropping. They are building these to turn them into holiday lets. Well that is what I think anyway. Bigger profit on their ROI than building saying affordable housing.

It's a bit of an astonishing window into real estate finance that the largest return on investment for a site at the edge of the New Town is huge amounts of PBSA rather than residential owner occupation

@spurtle.bsky.social I'd like to say a big thank you to the kind person from the Spurtle who dropped off a copy of the April Spurtle at McDonald Road library for me. It's for my parents, who have moved away from Edinburgh and who really enjoyed the March Spurtle. I've got the May one for them too!
