Did I say it was their fault, just something that needs recognising
1. Deheat the South East through positive economic and planning policies
2. Compel brown site rejuvenation over green field development
3. Revise planning requirements to insist (not just a planning bribe and over rule at construction) more social housing and smaller 2 and 3 bedroom family homes not yield manage "Executive houses"
4. Probably rent caps in urban areas that now majority owned by investors not owner occupiers
5. Accelerate redundant high street shop and office accommodation to higher density flat conversions supported by planning relaxations / tax incentives
6. Overturn the UK obsession with bedroom count rather than M2 evaluations of properties like you see in , say, Germany. A mate in Berlin lives in a super 110m2 2 bedroom flat , that's a fair size house over here
7. Starmer will / should be tempted to create new garden cities . Nothing new under the Sun, I'm a product of Harlow New Town in Essex. Planning would not only consider mixed housing but also integrated facilities such as cycle path networks, medical and educational facilities, 15 minute shopping districts etc . The attractiveness to many (not rural dwellers like us) would be amazing and typically the density of accommodation would be better
The economy / folks sense of a healthy economy is often judged either by retail spend or the increased value of their property. It's daft a bit like quantitative easing just inventing "new" money
