I don't think for one second anybody would build a house if they knew they would not be able to sell it. The demand is there, that is the market.

Now did Grabber Brown say he was going to build 3 million houses or did he say he was going to build 3 million homes? There is a difference. Did he say that they were all to be built on flood plains? I would doubt it seeing the vast expanses of derelict industrial property going to waste in most UK towns and cities.

As for all this "social housing" people seem so keen on. Were they the housing stock that made up those vast estates that town and city councils could not afford to maintain? Which by such neglect were rapidly turning into slum areas and ghettos? Shudder to think what your council tax bills would be today if all that inventory of housing still remained on the books of the local authorities.
