We are forgetting that the housing shortage is not the fault of those who own their house ,instead of looking for scapegoats and suggesting that they should downsize and vacate houses that very few would be able to afford anyway ,the government should apply tax breaks to house builders .It is suggested to give tax breaks to over sixties so instead give tax breaks to the builders or free up more land as has already been suggested ,there are many ways that the builders could be encouraged to build more houses other than high selling prices
