Private Speech posted:

Regardless it still shows that the amount of under-occupied housing is very low.

Clearly the issue is that not enough housing (and not dense enough housing) is being built. Probably because huge sections of influential people, as well as the developers who would have to build the houses, only stand to benefit from it. Plebs who don't own a house, well, who cares.

All that said I have very little trust that Labour would do something about it, at this point so much of the voting publics wealth is tied up in housing that any collapse in house prices would be complete electoral poison.

is it that low?

in 2022 it was 4% of all dwellings that were completely unoccupied, a number that rose 10% between 2018 and 2022

MeinPanzer posted:

There's been a lot of discussion in other Commonwealth countries dealing with housing crises (Canada, where I'm from; Australia; New Zealand) about the cause of the problem and it's abundantly clear by now that the main factor isn't foreign investors or even AirBnB but simply the lack of new housing construction overall. The UK housing market has been cruising off of the mass of home construction up until the 1980s, but we're now feeling the slow down of construction since then.

The problem is that skilled labour and materials have gone up dramatically in price since Covid, so it's largely not economical for developers to build reasonably affordable housing these days. In Canada, where there's been a proper housing crisis pretty much for the last quarter century, provincial governments have basically had to come to terms with the fact that the only way they can actually have a working class anywhere near most cities is to make everything as cheap as possible for developers, including massive tax breaks and subsidies, and even then it's barely making a dent in the problem.

Of course, all of these governments could simply implement ambitious, well-funded affordable housing construction programmes, but good luck getting that done.

the problem in many commonwealth countries is simply zoning and a refusal to build houses on the part of the government directly

between 1946 and 1980 an average of 126000 council homes per year were built in the uk. in 2019 the number was just 6827.
