Radical Solutions to the Housing Crisis

The BBC News Magazine suggests eight radical solutions to the housing crisis. Here are previous SERC blog posts on some of them (or other closely related issues):

• Encourage the Elderly out of big houses.
• Freestyle planning.
• Contain population growth.
• Force landlords to sell or let empty properties.
• Ban second homes.
• Guarantee mortgage payments.
• Build more council houses.

My preferred 'radical' solution - build more houses.
