In the middle of a housing crisis, the new local developments churn out ‘luxury flats’ that locals can’t afford. Often sold off-plan abroad, many are bought as assets to appreciate in value and are left empty.
In the multiple and overlapping ghost towers, only a few people are at home, the yellow glow in their windows signifying their occupation. Endless construction continues around them. Who is building the homes that we need and can afford?
