State bodies that extract legalised bribes for development, and anyone who owns a house and doesn't plan to move except to cash out.

One major reason why the middle class can’t afford to have children.

Current property owners.

Foreign billionaires know that the elite London housing market is a great investment, so they buy everything in sight and leave them empty. There was a strong drive towards landlordism too, so few people own many properties that are only for rent. It is madness.

Underdevelopment is a factor, to be sure. But thousands of homes in London are investment properties. The price inflation trickles outwards from there. There are many factors but low council tax on £1M+ homes is very attractive if you've got a spare million.

Massive proportion of MP's are landlords - turkey's don't vote for Christmas. Housing market = decades of government & civil service failure

agree with sentiment behind original tweet, but I think house prices to mortgage payments or comparing median income with that needed to qualify for mortgage on median prices home are better measures. interest rates matter.

Probably save the diff on healthcare.
