We need lots of new housing but it is very difficult to find locations.

Many old people live in large houses which were once family houses and more accommodation for the elderly should be created. Such accommodation is better in urban areas and allows higher density housing while releasing existing family homes. It is understandable that many elderly people who really need to move for their own benefit are reluctant to do so due to nostalgia and inertia. A programme to help such people move would be beneficial and create new housing without new building.
