Social Housing

[Eric Cartman]

And it's all down to simple economics. Supply and demand.

Supply has been strangled by the ridiculous planning system we have whilst we gave seen demand go through the roof.

Prices will continue to increase as the balance between supply and demand remains as it is. The planning system needs to be sorted out to allow development to happen, whilst there is little that can be done about demand as the population continues to increase.

Simple economics.

I feel like there is hesitancy from those in charge because they don't want to destabilise our massively inflated housing market. All governments seem to make the right noises on building houses and then fail to achieve it, maybe they don't want to. It can't all be down to planning 'red tape'

Planning is an absolute nightmare but housing developers can't really increase their output drastically. There's not enough tradesmen to handle the extra houses
