Population

Census time right now this 2021. Every household is counted - the census is not an estimate - potentially every individual is in the count. The on-line census form is easy to do. 
 Most localities have a holiday caravan park that has become a de facto housing estate, lucky for us, anything goes with the local council, except that the rows of the cabins are deserted and vacant most of the time except for the annual holiday. The cabins are outside conventional and annoying building regs. 
 Homelessness is growing.
 Can efforts to provide housing for the homeless learn anything from the vacant holiday cabins? 
 A similar ease up on regulations around alternative housing would meet the human dream for shelter and is a need of greater import than that of a holiday maker. What's good for the goose is good for the gander!  (Yes, Gander is a destination but that's beside the point)
