So where do you suggest people live given that in some areas about the only places where the local NIMBYs will tolerate building is flood plains?

This is far from a simple solution. Who sits on planning committees? Councillors. What's always a vote winner? Pandering to NIMBYs and BANANAs by pledging to keep house prices high 'preserve the local environment'.
