As far as housing goes Labour oddly wouldn't be any better.
Here's the thoughts of the parachuted into the constituency millionaire shadow housing minister.

Government mismanagement of economy pushes house prices ever downwards. 2.8% fall. The 1980s negative equity spectre haunts Britain again.

Solution to housing crisis is not pushing people into negative equity. We need more homes built and better access to getting a mortgage

So that makes sense. After a housing asset and debt bubble what we need is for prices to rise some more and banks to give out ever higher mortgages. It's fine for houses to still be over 6 times average income, banks should simply lend more.
We also need more housing to be built, but again prices must not go down. I'm unsure exactly what this cretin thinks building more homes will achieve, if it doesn't lower prices it's pointless.
I would say that those comments could be taken out of context but that's exactly what the man himself said word for word. Typical Labour opportunistic, populist waffle.
