Came across this piece in Barbados's Nation newspaper regarding affordable housing. Southwark is a district, I suppose is the best definition, of London (I passed through there on the tube, if that means anything).
They have legislation whereas any new developments include residential components and rented to those in need through housing corporations. It looks like this may at least be considered in Barbados; but I think this ought to be applied to Bermuda as well.
I'll quote the contributor directly: "The argument that it would put off developers is only popular with developers, and their lobbyists. After all, the legislators are elected by, and have a duty to provide for, the population, rather than accommodate the will of investors." Indeed.
