    Britain’s inability to provide decent housing for its growing population has been the greatest, and most insidious, public-policy failure of the last generation.http://nyer.cm/sbrVgza

        £35k eco-homes to solve housing crisis can’t get funding. REACH Homes, a non-profit set up to build the homes people need and to end energy poverty, wins awards but can’t find funding to start building. One of several solutions in same boat. ‘They’ don’t want the answer!pic.twitter.com/DtkzC0TwyG

        I love these ideas. Modern day prefabs are also an excellent solutions. I would live in one. the only problem is that a plot of land is needed which can cost 3X more than the construction.

        Yes, me too. Actually the 'scarcity' is more to do with (horrific) policy and abusive dominance, landbanking and skewed 'viability studies' from the big developers. We used these after the war. #housing

        True. But the US is hardly the country to be giving lessons in inequality. People who live in glass houses...

        its doesn't help the housing crisis when we have open borders and mass immigration either.

        Or, why regulations are paramount & the "free market"/capitalism has no solution for housing.

        You know that LABOUR were in power for 13 years during which they increased immigration and failed to build public housing?

        Labour under Blair & Labour under Corbyn are almost completely different parties though or are ypu seriously entertaining Trump & Corbyn becoming best pals as they destroy (more of) the ME? 🤔🙃

        Labour under Blair or Corbyn are the same when it comes to immigration. Neither of them care about immigration.

        Think that at least Corbyn realises that inaction by Labour on housing could lead to a revolt of the young.

        Many Tory politicians are Landlords. By suppressing supply, rental incomes rise.
