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 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.
@9QP4KY85mos5MO
Yes but for good quality estates. These need to be regulated and reach a certain standard of home. Not ones we are seeing that are falling apart within years
@9QNVVV75mos5MO
There is plenty of vacant council owned flats or homes, particularly Westminster. Why aren’t they being used?
@9QMSKWY5mos5MO
Yes, by liberalising planning rules such that the private sector hugely increases building of all types of housing.
@9QKV3WB5mos5MO
The government should restrict people owning multiple properties. There should be more secure government owned social housing.
@9QK5TTB5mos5MO
Yes, but not on green belt land. Abandoned and dilapidated buildings should be demolished and the land re-used
@9QHV95Z5mos5MO
Yes, but with an infrastructure that can sustain new homes being built I.e new schools, GP surgeries etc.
@9QH2MWH5mos5MO
as long as the homes were of good quality, not over populated and amenities were built alongside these to accommodate a growing population and reduce traffic
