The Centre-Right Campaign for Housebuilding

[James Gillham @jamesemgillham]

Yet they're happy to let the welfare bill balloon.

Our national security is being put at risk by a Labour Party which only seeks to retain power through buying votes. Working Brits footing the bill for all.

@ReidChalker the overwhelming economic evidence shows us that building housing, including market rate housing, reduces rents---if you oppose building new housing you are hurting tenants. period. full stop.

arguing otherwise is the equivalent of climate denial at this point

[Michael Murphy @michaelmurph_y]

Sarah: 'Blaming our housing crisis on immigration is absolutely wild to me.'

Robert: 'Do you not think an extra 10 million people coming into the UK is going to have an effect on housing?'

Sarah: [Confidence waning. Nervous scoff. Asks idiotic question.]

Robert: 'The more people you have in a country, the more houses you're going to need.'

Sarah:

[Wishmaster 🇬🇧 @thebigbadger]

We hear some real batshit crazy things from politicians these days, but congratulations Sarah Wakefield. This Green Party candidate claims on BBC Question Time that immigration plays no part on UK housing demand. FFS, are the Greens serious putting this one up for election???

Or another take:-

We are deindustrialising our country; driving inflation and crushing households with high energy bills

[Chris Worrall @CJAWorrall]

Systemic high prices caused by NIMBY ideologues like his good self

Zack Polanski in April 2016 citing San Francisco as a prime example of why rent controls don’t work and stifle housing supply 🕊️

The catastrophic failure by Khan on housebuilding continues. Londoners constantly sat without hope. @BuildForBritain

The actual definition of affordable housing.

[Henry Curr @ecurrnomics]

The idea that Britain's economy would thrive if only it had more social housing is also absurd

Service charges up by 89% in 5 years quickest way to kill an investment!

[Michael Wiebe @michael_wiebe]

Using the evidence from Auckland's upzoning, we infer that a 1% increase in housing stock reduces rents by 3.6%.

Rents fell by 21.6% and the housing stock increased by 6.9%, so the elasticity of rents to housing stock is ln(1-0.216)/ln(1+0.069) = -3.6.

Wandsworth Labour perfected the art of demanding towers to fund affordable housing - then refusing the towers required to pay for it.

Watch @emmamrevell epic takedown of the loony left

“And who’s going to own them?”

Centre for Policy Studies’ @emmamrevell and political commentator @PowerSayeed debate whether live-out landlords should be banned to tackle economic inequality in the UK.

Record low "numbers"...

[Tom Copley @tomcopley]

It was good to join the #politicslondon panel to discuss @SadiqKhan’s ten years as @MayorofLondon:

🏗️ Record numbers of affordable homes started across City Hall housing programmes, around 90,000 of which are complete.

🏡 Nearly 30,000 new council homes delivered or underway.
