sorry, but...isn't this perceived 'need' based at least partially on projections about how the population will increase if it continues as is... Unless they have a crystal ball, that is. If finance shrinks and our tax status changes accordingly to top up the States coffers, maybe by taxing rich tax exiles and the remaining businesses that remain at a more realistic rate, then Guernsey will be attracting a lot less wealthy/well paid imports, driving existing ones away, I would say, in some cases. Thar would mean the States simply won't have the funds to continually Build houses, but equally, a lot of local houses/flats will have to be let/sold at a more reasonable price, or risk remaining empty, thus, there will be more available in the private sector at an affordable price. I appreciate that this is speculation, but perhaps nomoreso than these estimated housing need projections, IMO...!
