This bit from the article linked baffled me:
"The housing situation in London is shocking. Young people, students and people who are low paid just cannot get places to live.
"Rather than going for that legal framework, we should be looking at ways where the owners of those buildings are encouraged to enter in to short term agreements that people will leave as soon as they need the building.
Does she realise that she's advocating the creation of formalised (temporary) slums? These are office buildings, in no way fitted out for residential use.
