Incentives could include financial support or tax breaks for developers to build housing that is affordable for low- and middle-income families. Proponents argue that it increases the supply of affordable housing and addresses housing shortages. Opponents argue that it interferes with the housing market and can be costly for taxpayers.

Yes. There should be a nationalised government run programme of house building, where the state covers the cost of training youngsters in house building skills, and those trainees then work for national house building programmes for 5 years to pay back the costs before being allowed to go and work on their own.

No but new housing being made for people should be properly made instead of thrown together causing further issues and reducing families having a 'home' due to more work and money needing to go into the corrections of faulty, thin properties.
@9NTVFS65 days5D
Yes but without negating quality. They should be fit for people to live in without raising further financial issues down the line due to companies skimping on quality
@9NT74NQ 5 days5D
Rather than incentivise, the government should put out tenders to build social housing stock owned and controlled by local councils
@9NT33TS6 days6D
Incentives should be to redevelop existing empty properties for affordable housing instead of building more homes
@9NSLXLC6 days6D
Yes but they should prioritise brownfield sites and ensure that existing villages and towns are not over populated: i.e. boost the criteria and requirements for ensuring roads, infrastructure, schools, doctors, dentists etc. can cope with the additional populations. Otherwise, the houses sell but everyone’s quality of life decreases.
