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.
@B5PXVGG4wks4W
No, they should control the amount of people coming into the nation to reduce the need for thousands of new houses.

No, reform zoning laws to increase housing supply instead, and also ban corporate and foreign investors from purchasing residential real estate

Developers should have to build a percentage of affordable housing each year. This should be the law and shouldn’t need government incentives.
@9Q8DZGX12mos12MO
No, all housing should be affordable. The term affordable housing suggests on new estates that many houses are not affordable and overpriced.
@9Q65SPG 12mos12MO
Yes, however it has to be quality housing and not a pop up tent equivalent which will break down in a year.
@9Q6357812mos12MO
Government should bring back housing schemes for public service careers such as nurses and police. However they should be investable by the public and private sector and a total package approach must be taken to remineration.for public service careers. Housing benefits, pension and wage. NOT just arguments about wage
@9Q4MNJV1yr1Y
There is already legislation around having to have affordable housing; it needs to be changed to no buyout and enforced with stronger regulations
