The commenter on Better Dwelling raises an important point about the relationship between population growth, job availability, and housing prices. They argue that if the population increases but there are not enough jobs, especially for those in lower-wage positions, people will struggle to pay rising rents. This is a valid concern as it creates a gap between demand and affordability for rental properties.
The commenter also criticizes the government's approach towards housing renovations for "green" projects, suggesting that this may exacerbate the issue by not directly addressing the lack of available jobs for the increasing population. This lack of action could lead to a prolonged economic downturn.
In summary, it is crucial for governments and businesses to balance population growth with job opportunities in order to maintain affordable housing and prevent economic stagnation.
