Last post, Iโm moving my SM posts to my private personal account, and Linkedin where thereโs much more transparency on who engages with the content I post.
Happy to connect via insta (same handle as X) and on Linkedin. X was good fun but it had its day a while ago
Excellent thread explaining global slump in housing affordability. Only developers with invested interests may say โits Planningโ. Planning isnโt to blame! Monetising housing & poor financial mechanisms makes houses unaffordable & rots the stock faster than any period
Last year I was commissioned by the UK ministry of housing to write a report on the demand side-drivers of the housing affordability crisis.
After some election-related delays, here it is. (1/13)

This week Iโm touched by many msgs of support to a short eulogy I wrote to honour my Dad. I wish it wasn't the end of your time. As Scott-Holland wrote, โDeath is nothing at all. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?โ

Jetlag gift - wide awake & enjoying the silence whilst my lovely fam are sound asleep. Only my bunny interupts, with lettuce crunching & nose nudges when I pause giving her pets. She is extra floofy atm due to changing weather. Fluff in my coffee, but a lovely start to weekend
Sense of self in Collingwood is my favourite adaptive reuse - industrial architecture to beautiful bath house - pools, sauna, steam room. Bliss in the middle of urban inner city, nicely connected by trams to get home, and a few bars along the way :)
Perfect Saturday eve
She now only refers to me as CC Gill ๐คฃ Friends said I should change my name to it.
Advocating for a loved one in a medical emergency is never patronising nor insulting. I do not use negative terms. I share here to stand up & stop abusive behaviours, its and not ok nor normal
Sadly, its now at least 4 weeks since my relative started with delirium. Despite advocating for them - suggesting on 19/7, their symptoms might be delirium (past experience of this) the geriatric consultant has confirmed delirium this week - 4 weeks later
Turns out, it is deliriumโฆbut its now 4 weeks since onset, despite speaking out using my intuition & past experience of relatives with this exact condition prior to death. I do not get why, in an emergency, ppl cannot pause abusive behaviours, even for a short time
Been using my research skills this week to understand a medical condition called delirium. Itโs something Iโve come across before with elderly relatives, and always been surprised by the lack on understanding about this life threatening condition ๐งต
-causes permanent damage or death.
Not in the article, but from personal experience of relatives being diagnosed too late:
โgeriatric consultants in the UK donโt seem up to date/well versed in understanding delirium yet
โBest research cluster is in US university hospitals
@elyobo@gerrvvvv It will come down if demand rises. We need double glazing as a minimum in NCC for colder climate zones, higher standards is the answer to boost the market
@PhilipThalis The transfer of essential infrastructure or services like water, electricity has been going on since the 80s. Corporate funds have worked out, sector by sector there is more profit in essentials than luxury goods. Housing stocks is the latest sector to transfer to corporates
