Sadly it's all about supply and demand.

More and more people want housing and there are just not enough houses for them because the government is not building new homes fast enough and the million or so empty homes which could be renovated and brought back into use are still being left undeveloped. If,nationally, we had 100,000 small building firms renovating an empty home every 3 months that would make 400,000 homes available in a year. If we don't have 100,000 small building firms maybe the government could start training up the unemployed in jobs like that to speed things along as at the present rate demand will always outstrip supply and house prices will stay high and unaffordable.

What we need in government are people with business acumen coupled with commercial or industrial experience not MPs with degrees in politics and economics but no practical experience of how things work in the economy in real life.
