It's utter nonsense and similar to the guardians bizarre take on this multiple times this year. It simply goes against supply and demand to say more housing won't decrease house prices. In every city that has relaxed housing laws and built, prices have came down of course

It also doesn't factor that immigration is running at net 700k the last few years. We've got one of the smallest amount of spare homes in Europe if we don't build homelessness is going to continue to increase in the dramatic way it has. The way uk works just now people happy with a home are the ones who decide if we build homes for those who don't, I can understand the tories being NIMBY but not others.

In only 10 years 700,000 more adults are living with parents than before and over 30s living with parents has went from 8% to 11%. The number of 30 year olds owning a home has went from 65% in 1960 to 30% now

We need to build all types of homes, private rental and purchase, student homes and most importantly social housing. No party is interested because young people are the ones suffering and they don't vote I suppose
