Are we returning to the days of urban sprawl? Suzanne Meade joins debate on ‘The Last Word.’

There are not enough houses or apartments being built to deal with the demand for affordable housing.  But of the homes that are being built, are they in the right locations?  Are we making the same mistakes we made a decade ago in building housing estates in Dublin’s commuter counties, which could be contributing to urban sprawl and a return to lengthy commutes?
