The alliance parties will perhaps introduce market rents. This means that the rents must be set according to the principle that the more popular the areas, the higher the rent. This leads to two things:

* rents in central parts are raised significantly as demand increases and causes a move to less central areas

* the move to less central areas causes rent increases as demand increases sharply even there

This leads to a general increase in rent levels, both in central residential areas and outer areas. In order for the levels not to drop, new units of length will not be built to any great extent either. If the construction companies were to build more apartments, the supply would increase and thus the rents would fall. The end result will therefore be an even greater housing shortage than at present and even higher rents.

The high rents will also lead to people having less money to shop with. This will mean that many companies where you shopped will be at risk of going out of business when you can no longer shop there. This leads to people losing their jobs.
