Here's where we are currently -
>...Each pod has its own front door, balcony, kitchen and TV. The small, but perfectly formed units also feature a mezzanine floor with a desk, doubled bed, bathroom and storage space.
>The units cost between £80,000 and £120,000 to build and install depending on the specification.
>Designer of the pods, Bill Dunster, believes the homes are perfect for packed cities with little land space as the units can be built above existing structures such as car parks.
>“Importantly the ZEDPod concept decouples housing provision from land prices using air rights over car parks,” Mr Dunster said.
>“This enables affordable, quality city homes where land is scarce or expensive to be put up quickly, helping keyworkers to live near their work and at the same time maintaining precious parking spaces.
>“We are working with key partners to create a development model that allows Local Authorities and others to create communities of affordable houses at almost zero capital outlay.”

One thing I noted from this article, was this is pretty much the most affordable you can get and they are being aimed at employed keyworkers. Given the market insists on having 'range' for marketing segment purposes, if the plan is for vital keyworkers to be living in these, what exactly is the plan for people lower down the social ladder?
