Would someone knowledgeable please clean this up?

[edit]

Far too much mystery text. Examples: Caption "Deaths among women, children and the elderly shocked the public." -- When? With reference to what? Blitz section: not one word clarifying the time period, WW2. "Hackney's solution to affordable housing has been able to put more affordable housing on the market by making use of inclusionary practices." Elaborate, clarify "inclusionary practices". "In Hackney about half of the new units are affordable." Meaning that half are unaffordable, thus remain unoccupied? No, of course not. Kensington is affordable to those with the means. This is euphospeak. Flesh it out to what is actually meant. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 17:44, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've clarified the wartime references. Affordable housing is a specific concept and I've added a link to it, but I'm as mystified as you are by "inclusionary practices", the source cited doesn't appear to use the term. Belbury (talk) 17:51, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nicely done -- thanks. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 22:23, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
