In the words of @SteveBakerHW true housing localism is about giving people the power to say ‘no’ but a reason to say ‘yes’. This new report explains how that could be done in England.

This👇from @tomhfh @GBNEWS goes to the heart of the biggest driver of inter-generational injustice: housing.
Since c1999, soaring UK house prices have left #generationrent unable to save: paying c50% of their disposable income on rent to #buytolet landlords.

Brilliant new paper from the @SMFthinktank, @PricedOutUK, @AnyaMartin8, @SteveBakerHW, @gregsmith_uk & @yimbyalliance. Since 1947 we have never managed to add net homes at the rate of the 1930s or 1820s. Making new housing work for locals could change that smf.co.uk/wp-content/uploads…

Much as I hate to disagree with @FraserNelson et al, I think young people not being able to afford their own homes is a teensy weensy bit more of a factor spectator.co.uk/article/baby…
Hearing from @Ben_Everitt, @SCP_Hughes, @AnyaMartin8, @MacdonaldJam and @alexkcrowley about how we reform planning regulations and fix the housing crisis🏡
@ASI #CPC21
“Post financial crisis we lost so many SME housebuilders because of access to finance. When you talk to the larger housebuilders, they want the smaller developers to succeed too” @Ben_Everitt
“The more supply (of any type) we have, the more we chip away at the affordability conundrum” says @Ben_Everitt

.@alexkcrowley says that the system is optimised for people who don’t want development (aka homeowners). He says we need a louder voice for those who have yet to get on the housing ladder and need more house building

Fascinating read about how our planning system creates the big developer oligopoly by crowding out small and custom builders. And this quote from the Bacon Review is not mincing words!
The real 'developers' charter' is our existing broken planning system, says housing expert @AntBreach
