I made a gif to show the cyclical nature of construction (and the hyper cyclical nature of housebuilding)

I made a gif to show change in housing tenure by age over the last 20 years. Was quite surprised that the increase in renters goes all the way up to the 65-69yr-old group.

I have a chart for this. This is the last 20 years. We're already seeing a big increase in renters in their sixties.

I have a gif for this. I think the answer is that it's a tomorrow problem.

I have a new job in construction. I'll try to post here occasionally. First, an animated chart showing the dramatic change in housing tenure over 20 years. Gov want to build 1.5m homes and developers are catering to the increasingly large cohort of renters too with a growing build to rent market.
