I think you need to talk to people under the age of 35..... the UK is extremely short of new, affordable housing.................... especially around areas like Cambridge
Quite so however developers are very careful not to build so many houses that prices (and thus profits) might fall.
Only social housing would or could reduce the cost of houses and that's not going to be happening anytime soon.
