Yeah exactly my point. There’s a limit of private build and it’s a mixture of labour, materials, and planning law. If they could build twice as many home and make twice as much money they would.
The housebuilders do not meet the level of demand for housing, that's effectively what the graph is showing as there is no replacement for the drop off in LA building - the big housebuilders represent 90% of the market. They are constructing less dwellings than they were even when mass council house building was happening!
Here is a table showing the volume of planning apps for major residential developments:

Is it really necessary for this fuck wit to give the dog whistle politics some more credence?
I was looking at population growth earlier today and it's actually slowed down the last few years, possibly COVID related to an extent but was slowing before that. It's similar to peer countries.Is it really necessary for this fuck wit to give the dog whistle politics some more credence?
They look like utter clowns when they do this, just take the hat and high vis off you titIs it bob the builder day in Parliament?
Not really, because it still shows he has no idea how to use a hammer. If he did he'd have just ignored her and used it correctly.Well that’s a little disappointing.
Still, being told how to use a hammer by a woman won’t go down well with a lot of the Tory base!
But that proves my point that we need to get the public sector involved in housebuilding again.View attachment 32489
the big drop off is LA builds. But otherwise it’s been around the same level give or take a few ten thousand. You aren’t going to get the numbers without either lots of LA building or planning reform. Blaming house builders is a nonsense.

While there is truth in problems with planning laws and restrictions and land availability, it doesn't explain it all. The LA's went out of the game completely in order to give the private companies more to work with. Land, resources and labour used by LA's become available to the private companies because, according to privatisation, they can build houses better and cheaper. They aren't. Prices are going up way beyond earnings. They're building them to make themselves the most profit possible.
Follow the money. Of course they can't build no houses because they'd make no money. But equally they can't build loads because their profit margin will decrease due to supply and demand. So they work out what level of building will give them the highest profit margin and that's why they build roughly the same amount of houses year on year. It's what they've worked out maintains the profit margin. Ferrari don't build millions of cars a year even though loads of people would like one because they wouldn't make as much profit. They'd make more revenue, but less profit, and that's what they care about.
There was actually some truth in that.This is like that old meme about ever lasting light bulbs and how big light bulb was keeping them from us to make money.
There was actually some truth in that.
Bulbs were deliberately manufactured to burn out twice as fast as was strictly necessary.
Also there was an agreement between all the manufacturers to limit the total number of light bulbs sold to keep prices artificially high.

Poor Girl... shameful tbh
I mean they literally renamed the minimum wage the living wage, so working full time on it should, by the governments own admission, be enough to live on.
And don't even get me started on insurance companies , fucking abysmal cunts
We never used to , when did it become acceptable to punish people for driving correctly.. they are thievesOne of my more weird beliefs is if the government forces you by law to do something it should have to provide the cheapest option that conforms to the law.
Were all forced to buy car insurance and we all get fucked on it.
They've had a load of flooding in mid East and turkey etc got to cover it somehow?And don't even get me started on insurance companies , fucking abysmal cunts
Mr car insurance has gone up this year because Mrs Wisdom is a named driver and was driven into, with the police as witnesses, so entirely on the other driver without contest.We never used to , when did it become acceptable to punish people for driving correctly.. they are thieves

How does that work?!? Especially as we both have protected no claims!
It's wrong of course but they calculate that statistically your more likely to make further claims,it's happened to me as well.Mr car insurance has gone up this year because Mrs Wisdom is a named driver and was driven into, with the police as witnesses, so entirely on the other driver without contest.

Absolutely positive! She stopped at a green light for the police car that was coming, a car about 200 metres down the road didn't and drove into the back of her. The police had to abandon wherever they were going to deal with that instead!You sure is wasn’t Mrs Ws dodgy driving ?!!
