"There are some empty houses"
Around a million - there are no figures whatever to indicate where these houses are, so once again you are making up facts.
The fact that that figure has all-but doubled in a coule of years shows conclusively that the housing crisis is down to Government (of all persuasions) incompetence and not immigration.
Immigration is as significant to this crisis as is predatory investment, the crisis caused by political incompetence and corpotate banking greed.
