Is Population increase in your area possible?

Personally I feel if there is any kind of evacuation, then people are more likely to be shipped off to hotels; guest houses; old army barracks; Student halls of residence; exhibition centres; etc etc

In terms of hotels alone, visit Britain quotes:

According to Eurostat the number of bedspaces (that is the total number of persons who can stay) in UK 'hotels and similar establishments' was 1,411,000 in 2011.

Furthermore, Eurostat estimate that the number of bedspaces in 'other collective accommodation establishments' (including holiday dwellings and tourist campsites) in the UK was 1,861,000 in 2011.

In total therefore the UK has a tourist accommodation 'bedspace' stock capable of sleeping around 3.272 million people.


Then with the other venues, particularly student accommodation, then I really cannot see why, or how the government could organise any kind of evacuation into private homes.
