STIMSON STREET GUILFORD DEVELOPMENT

In the post war years the Housing Commission calculated reasonable rent as 25% of gross wage.
But times have changed and now some tennants are paying up to 50% of their salary as rent..It demonstrates the need to buy a house during your working life so you can survive retirement living in a house fully paid for.
So now we see the arrival of alternative housing ideas ,the development of a four story block of 23 studio apartments .Built with modular container units fabricated in China and lifted into place by crane in two days.
