Oh, no, I totally agree with you. What I meant is that there are people in the UK at least that think that we should restrict the ability to have these HMOs and that they don't want further construction, at least of certain types. You see it all the time in the news media here - they'll interview someone complaining about rent, suggest that rent controls should be imposed, but also that they don't want the new development down the road because it's "luxury flats" and they can't afford those either. "Luxury flat" these days means a two bedroom apartment which 20 years ago would have been considered small.
