Stop building more homes.
It's a waste of money and land usage
Take the homes away from faggots not using them
OK Corbyn
No point building on greenspace when you a) need the greensspace for the environment and food, and b) people want the homes where the work is
Calm down
Kek, nothing wrong with Corbyns policy in that regard tbh
IN general you want to be limiting population growth and then fixing the housing crisis we have
Then force people to rent or sell their empty homes @Eccles
Just tax the shit out of empty homes
Easy. Badda bing, badda boom.
Waste of land usage as compared to what? Farming is uneconomical and their are plenty of greenspaces within a radius of cities
And tax the shit out of empty houses yes
"Waste of land usage as compared to what" Compared to more empty homes.
Why build more homes which are going to sit empty, unused?
Honestly if I owned a empty home
And you wanted to tax it or kick out
I'd be renting that shit
Farming is not uneconomical
I'd convert to commercial
So? @Eccles
joshu does your attitude change if we're talking about rich saudis/chinese/others buying up homes as investments?
Or nominate it as my office
No crafty
Who wants the country to be a sprawling city?
I'm not a fucking socialist
No green, just dead-buildings
Who wants to redistribute wealth from the rich people
Society does

``Foreign investors are buying up thousands of homes suitable for first-time buyers in London, using them as buy-to-let investments and often holding them in offshore tax havens, research for the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has revealed.
Led by investors from Hong Kong and Singapore, foreign buyers snapped up 3,600 of London’s 28,000 newly built homes between 2014 and 2016, according to the most comprehensive survey yet of international investment in London housing. About half of those were priced for first-time buyers between £200,000 and £500,000.``
*Nice.*
It's fine, people will get them eventually!
We hope!!
Just build more!!!!
you could jus offer tax breaks for anyone constructing low cost high rises, more houses in less space.
You have to redistribute wealth from rich down eventually
I'm not saying no green, we've got forests for that. It's the seas of empty fields that are wasting money. Converting them to council house areas would do something to alleviate the problem.
Or you could just force people to use those assets @killerqwerty
Simple.
