The issue of affordability is complex and can be significantly impacted by the location of homes (in terms of transportation costs) and the quality of the build. The concept of "appropriate locations" needs to explicitly consider access to the village infrastructure (walking and cycling) and frequent and efficient public transportation (to places of work and education). There is no point in building affordable homes in locations remote from good transportation options.
