There is a really simple answer that does not affect anyone's right to a 2nd home and other punishing policies.

Councils should be incentivised by government, undoubtedly through general taxation, to construct social/council housing particularly on their brownfield sites but obviously not restricted in this way. Targets should be set and that would include dealing with homelessness (UK residents, of course).

I'll mention it to Sir John.
