Sorry, George, you're wrong on this one. The average house price in Bristol is now £384,348. We need to build more homes. Four modern, attractive apartment blocks on a brownfield site is surely a welcome development?

New: Many of London's post-war housing estates are damp, cramped, and cold. But, it's possible to fix that and cut London's housing shortage.

Here's how an estate renewal revolution can build half a million homes and cut London’s emissions

We have 4 wonderful Parliamentary Champions in Andrew Western MP Simon Clarke MP Siobhain McDonagh MP Brandon Lewis - and we are now looking to expand.

Which YIMBY MPs would you like to see become PricedOut ambassadors?

A few things recently argued that more efficient rationing is a solution to the housing crisis. It's dubious that even helps affordability - but even if it does, that fails to address the other crisis - British homes are bad.

Absolutely right to object to this. Only 15 storeys tall on a brownfield site in central Brixton? It ought to be twice as tall and provide twice as many homes.

In my column for The Times and The Sunday Times this week, I write about how the The Church of England can recover a sense of social mission by building a new generation of beautiful, charitable almshouses. Highly recommend looking at the great work AlmshouseAssociation are doing

Great to see politicians like Promise Knight talking UP housebuilding!

Let's see more councillors from every party fighting for housing.

'Those numbers are a drop in the ocean' 👏👏

Bang on from Chris 🥑🌹 on the ridiculous Brownfield-Only policy...

You may not like it, but this is what peak community champion performance looks like

As the party of opportunity, we need to build millions of homes. We need to stop pretending all the Green Belt is sacrosanct.

A glance at what Pierre Poilievre and Conservative Party are doing in Canada shows what a big mistake Conservatives are making, and how different things could be.

New: London has a shortage of homes, but it doesn't have a shortage of golf courses.

In fact, London’s 95 golf courses take up more land than the entire borough of Brent.

Here's the case for building on some of them.

I see we’re at the “empty homes are the cause of the housing crisis” part of the debate again.

But they’re really not.

We have far, far fewer homes than most developed countries and eliminating them entirely would actually be bad for the housing market.

When somebody starts talking about 'empty homes' in a British context, you can reasonably deduce that they have no clue what they're talking about.
There are no empty homes in Britain. It's a NIMBY excuse, and nothing else.

Our party must be better than repeating our opponents NIMBY propaganda.

I for one am glad that Liberal Democrats are commuted to 380,000 new homes a year!

Yet again the Green leader demonstrating very little understanding of the housing crisis.

At the very least - is the national Green policy on council/social homes and infrastructure going to be communicated to and upheld by local Greens?

Supply is the key.

It is though

Just building more homes will fix the housing crisis. It’s terribly simple.
