Insufficient supply is due to insufficient production, and the essential cause is cumbersome building regulations that hinder the construction of new homes.

- matt-p 3y agoTotal rubbish, building regs are if anything not strict enough (see flammable cladding, new build house quality) The restriction is planning permission e.g where are developers allowed to build housing. To a lesser extent the large house builder oligopoly is not great either but fixing the former will probably sort that out.
