I see your point but this is different.


It's not a matter of opinion, it's cold hard facts. There is a huge national housing shortage and there is very limited nationalised construction.


99.9% of construction is by the private sector. They work from pre approved architect plans, using buying power to get vast quantities of resources and the margins are often quite tight on each unit.


The alternative is govt subsidies, which would be recouped via increate in Council Tax and generally increase in house prices.

I agree it isn't without its difficulties but there has to be a point when change comes and there will always be reasons to postpone, delay and cancel.

I think more than just changing the way we build houses we would be modernising our landscape and creating homes that people will use and adapt physically, and with greater ease, to their lifestyle. It could be the ultimate in self choice and unique for each family.
