Housing is meant to be for people, not absurd profits whilst regular families are struggling to get a good home.
International student numbers are continuing to fall. It is hard to see the justification for continuing to build more and more PBSAs when existing ones are not at capacity.
For many Palestinian students currently stuck in Gaza, a place in a Scottish university is a lifeline.
I would push to ensure that we are looking at the bigger picture and support residents to live in good, collegiate communities together.
