From a population of 50 million to nearly 70 million , with also more housing being built, AND a fall in Anglo Saxon birth rate, WHO IS LIVING IN THESE XTRA HOUSES THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT SINCE 1980?

Housing for the rich no Social housing being built

Lease hold should be abolished. It is the same thing here in USA for
Trailer/Mobile/manufactured homes. We also have REDICULESS HOA's. You look at a listing for a home and say "I can afford that" then you look at the lease /lot fee or HOA and realize that not only can you not afford it but you are not allowed to do what you want with the surrounding land because it is not yours
