A meeting of housing minds?

As the agencies have been targets of protester ire, one guesses these sentiments will have been viewed with some scepticism. But suspicions aside, and in a spirit of hoping to find genuine solutions, let’s take the letter as a declaration of responsibility and of intent.

Ok, so - and as an example - Vox and Sumar will see eye to eye. Pull the other one. Or Més per Menorca and the Prohens government, parliament having wasted breath on debating a 15-year residency requirement, a diversion from what the associations have identified as fundamental issues, e.g. meaningful affordable and social housing programmes on a far more ambitious scale than contemplated thus far.
