There aren't mortgage tax credits in the UK, and I have no idea what you mean by "eco regulation shenanigans"

  They are both Dutch situations. The eco regulation shenanigans is about nitrogen emissions. They are limited by European regulations near protected areas. The government ignored and worked around these regulations for a long time. Then environmental parties sued, and we were so far above the limits it was essentially ruled "no more emissions". Whilst building new houses causes a decent amount of emissions. This meant that country wide, getting building permits became almost impossible. This contributed partially to our current housing shortage.

    The massive shortage existed way before that lawsuit was even in the making.
