Don't EVER let someone out of Cornwall say that not allowing the current onslaught of #secondhomes and unaffordable houses is xenophobia. It's not xenophobia to fight for #sustainable communities where the youth of #Kernow (whichever their origins) can live, work and thrive! #overtourism

And on the second day of Yule, the SecondHomes and AirBnBs shall be filled. Travellers from distant lands will don their gay apparel, and tread the provinces in search of festive cheer.

The monstrosity going up next door to me. I am in the granite building that was built in 1837. For years we have had an empty lot, but now 4 very narrow homes are being built.

In PZ filling in - and residential conversion unused office, warehouse, and retail - town centre much better than taking green space outside A30 "ring road". Some town houses and flats have views Mounts Bay over rooves - starter or retirement homes for people who want to be in town not #secondhomes.

A proposal - so maybe more of a threat than a law. But don’t blame them.

A poem about the deserted villages of Cornwall today, done to the same rhyme form of Oliver Goldsmith’s poem about the deserted villages caused by the Enclosure Act when rich people wanted everything for themselves (nothing changes, does it?) #poem #goldsmith #secondhomes

In the poorest part of the Borough - the council estate is being replaced by flats costing … more than £1/2m for two bedrooms

How can any council tenant afford that? Or most local residents?

The UK's coastal 'ghost enclaves' are the result of government failure on low-use homes theconversation.com/the-uks-coas... by Rowland Atkinson et al

Since 2022, we have gathered council tax data at what statisticians term "lower super output area" level. These are small areas containing between 400 and 1,200 housholds (or 1,000-3,000 people). Each approximates a community or neighbourhood unit. In England, there are just over 33,000 of these areas. Of the 371 local authorities (or equivalent) across England, Scotland and Wales, we got data from 205 – covering 64% of the population of the three nations. We found that large numbers of local authorities have areas in which 5% or more homes are low-use. In 50 of the 205 council areas we looked at, we also found ghost enclaves where at least 20% of properties – and as many as half in some areas – are empty or largely unoccupied.
