For as long as I have lived I have been listening to politicans telling us we need to build more homes. The more homes that are built the less green spaces we have. What about our beautiful countryside? Our green spaces and our countryside should come first. Houses should only be built on brown field sites.

Eco towns are an abomination. Listen to Richard Rogers, The CPRE, Friends of the Earth, and other eminent thinkers on this subject. Pouring tonnes of concrete over our farmland is not the answer. Stop this now, or you will lose more votes. This will be the Poll Tax for Labour

The housing price bubble has nothing to do with housing shortages but with speculation within the housing market and no other viable alternatives for investment which give the sort of returns we have seen in the last 10 years (180% increase).
The only real way to help people like myself to get on the housing ladder is to allow the market to crash and return to viable income multiples instead of the disgraceful multiples we see today. But if that happens then the "Stable economy" will fall.

Sorry, I would like to believe you but I'm sure all these homes will be shared ownership and not affordable.
Shared ownership was just another way to keep house prices high. It has help maintain this
housing bubble which is now bursting.
If you want to do something about housing keep prices lower so we can afford them and not stretch people to the brink for a 25% share in a home.

'Affordable housing' generally means 'blocks of flats', which few first-time buyers want to live in.
Labour's housing targets never take into accont what is suitable for each local area, or what buyers want.
