Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It also has one of the worst shortages of affordable homes.

    Maybe the UK needs politicians like they’re starting to get in the USA. If you don’t know this guy pictured, he’s running to be mayor of New York. His campaign is all about making necessities more affordable (rent, food, transport), and his poll numbers are pretty good.

    A photo of Zohran Mamdani, candidate for mayor of New York. He is standing at a podium which has a sign on the front with his first name in capital letters. There are spectators. Behind Zohran is a sign which says "afford to live & afford to dream".

    I bet there are enough airbnbs and second/third/fourth homes in Bath to more than cover the waiting list. No need to build anything.
