A housing crisis caused jointly by the population increase fropm a flawed immigration policy and the wrong level of housing being built by building firms whose policy is, "the bigger the house the more profit we make"

After the war, there was a real housing shortage which was solved by a massive Council House Building programme of two and three bedroom houses by the then Attlee led Labour Goverment which unlike today a great deal of the house building consists of three to seven bedroom houses built in abundance for the better off while not enough affordable housing is being built for the less well off, many of whom are the immigrants.

Priorities in housing today is all wrong with wealth taking priority over need and Councils now more interested in getting larger amounts of Council Tax from the bigger houses which was never the case in the harder times of 1945!
