I Wonder Why This Number Is Rising So...

//Angela Rayner has given her strongest hint yet that Labour will announce a major package of social housebuilding in next month’s spending review...Labour has promised to build 1.5m new homes over the course of the parliament, but experts say this will not be possible without finding money to build at least 90,000 socially rented houses and flats in England every year.//
Which money tree wlll they be shaking for this one?

The state is hopeless at building things, the city experiments of the 50s, 60s and 70s demonstrate that. So they need to create conditions for building firms to build affordable housing, that's the challenge and who knows maybe the GOAS has something up her sleeve.
Good luck Angela. It needs to be done but it's going to need major expenditure and it's not easy given the NIMBYism and planning restrictions and the lack of infrastructure in terms of roads, schools, shops, hospitals in areas where building might be considered. I hope we get the extra social and affordable hosuing without it ending up like 60s tower blocks.
fripfrip, the prefabs of the 1950 were meant to have a 10 year lifespan...many are still standing. I'd not knock them.
I think I heard a few years ago that ikea was developing low cost housing...I wonder what happened to that.
Whatever is built, it's got to be approached as creating communities...not just walls to keep the rain out.
Here's an article about ikea flat pack homes...
