I’m curious that you point out the need for social / affordable housing in London & the need for investment in low housing cost areas needing regeneration (which would presumably include building social / affordable housing) - and yet no mention of high cost areas, principally coastal & rural , where high housing costs are driven by investors & second home owners causing locals (especially young people) to leave in their droves. Neither Labour nor any other party as far as I can see appears to be willing to grapple with our culture that views land & property principally as an investment rather than a means to house people.
