The whole argument of homes not being affordable due to a lack of housing is fundamentally flawed as it is clear that we have more houses now than we have ever had. The high cost of housing is due to demand NOT supply. Building more houses will not stop the demand so the cause of high house prices will remain and we'll be facing the same problems in 15 years. Also building more houses on green fields is CLEARLY NOT SUSTAINABLE and will lead to further permanent destruction of the environment and threaten our future security.
