Threshold, Age Action and the Irish Council for International Students (ICOS) warn the proposal could negatively affect students and older people who may be pressured by family members seeking to benefit from their property.

The 557 sq m development in Bohermeen has now been totally demolished and removed from the landscape after a 20-year legal battle.

I never expected to own a home. I wasn't born into generational wealth. I grew up poor. There was-and is-no big family inheritance coming my way. Not property. Not cash. Not stocks or bonds or whatever financial instrument one might trade or sell or leverage to join the landed class.

One resident of Princeton's Western Section told the room, 'Those of us who own historic homes are subsidizing the community' - and was met with applause.

Barratt Redrow stated, 'Now, with a less certain backdrop, given recent geopolitical events and their likely impact on mortgage rates and build cost, we are being even more selective.'

"We're all over the place here - this meeting should be suspended. We should get our ducks in a row and come back here and do this properly. I mean it's like a circus - you're saying one thing, and then you're going back. You're kind of changing your answers."

The decision to transfer the family farm was based on the son's long-standing interest and commitment to the land, which made the parents believe they were making the right choice.

The proposed 'pied-à-terre tax' will allow New York City to levy a yearly surcharge on luxury second homes valued at $5 million or more, targeting wealthy out-of-towners.

Good urbanism should transcend politics. Socialists and capitalists can walk the same neighborhood and agree it's a pleasant place to live. They can each appreciate the tree canopy, the corner café with people spilling onto the sidewalk, the mix of ages on bikes and on foot, the architectural details of older buildings, and so on.

"You have this kind of alienation between the two generations. The younger ones are trying to get closer to nature, but in a way we might roll our eyes at."

Campaigner Aysha Hawcutt stated that residents were 'not anti-homes', but believed the Adlington plan was 'the wrong proposal in the wrong place'. She expressed pride in the community's resilience against the development threats.

San José is still way behind. It's way behind on its housing, and it's way behind on its thinking about what development should look like. We either build a lot of housing on this site, and we're actually serious about solving the housing crisis, or we have elected officials and civic leaders who continue to pay lip service to housing while doing nowhere near enough to solve the real issues.

With just five months before landmark housing legislation takes effect throughout California, San Jose officials are racing to exempt broad swaths of the city from the law. Sen. Scott Wiener's Senate Bill 79, signed into law in October, aims to encourage denser housing construction around transit hubs. In San Jose, the law would cover 40,000 parcels of land, in many cases pushing up the maximum height and density limits for newly constructed residential buildings, according to city officials.

The cost rose a lot following the pandemic. And some of that was supply chain issues that really increased the costs, and then they didn't quite come back down. And now tariffs are also impacting some products. These costs are part of the reason the amount of new rental housing stock is shrinking.
