Unless the UK indulges in another round of building "new towns", the
national housing shortage is actually only solvable at the local
level. In other words build homes where the people and jobs are, or
move the people and jobs.

Unfortunately the policy for most of the country seems to be to build
new estates on largely brownfield and rural sites, in places where they
get the least objection. Correlating it with workplaces is the last
thing on the agenda.

If the previous government hadn't deliberaly flung the doors open to mass
immigration we wouldn't now be having to cope with housing an extra 2 million
people. If there was any justice in the world Tony Blair would be forced to
rent out the rooms in his mansions.
