In America we call them "Student Housing," and greedy Wall Street firms are buying up every inch of buildable land in my city and constructing these ugly, out-of-place monstrosities...

😂😂 We are getting closer to the UK being run by the IMF with Labour politicians just watching from the sidelines. The collapse is already in the UK, the BBC is playing catch up with reality.

At the end of the day its money. Student accomodation has a massive profit to area ratio. <br><br>A property developer can look at how much money students get from the government and then work backwards to maximise profit. Which is why its easier to get private funding for construction because its a captured market.<br><br>Which also explains why the Glasgow case is going to be the tallest residential building in the City Centre. Money.

"Postgraduate students are more likely to have income or savings" HAHAHAHAHA

The human cost of private PBSA has to be good for students, good for the scotish accomodation companies and for the country . When young people study in a university they have teachers, classrooms ,books ,etc. and the bedroom with a desk to learn anything necessary could be more or less afordable. Maybe more public benefits for students have to be stablished by the Scottish government .

You have to help a good person trying to do good. Please, I will reward you. If you help me I will help you when you want to do good. I am a psychologist and I want to be part of a psychological experiment. I want to do a life sentence in an isolation cell experiencing the punishment I would inflict on a serial killer. My cell is the serial killer's cell. I will need for the rest of my life air, light, water, food and one uniform. I want nothing in my isolation sell except the most indispensable. I need water to drink. I don't need a toilet or shower. I will clean myself with a bucket. And I will dispose of my human waste digging in the floor with a spade a hole to later be covered again. I will not need any book or any other form of entertainment for a while. I want to be with my thoughts. All the exchanges between the isolation cell and the outside world are controlled. The experiment can not be cheaper. I need support. Share if you dare and care. Thank you.

An "International Student from Pakistan" should have trouble finding accommodation and SHOULD NOT be taking the place of a WHITE, English, Welsh, Scottish (or even Irish) born student. Government built accommodation should be prioritized and subsidized for them.
