Not ignoring it, you should research why they were demolished.

Just ignore the hundreds of thousands of flats that were dynamited.

Ok so selling off just reduced housing for millions of lower waged, sorry, didn’t specify. Now we have ex-council flats selling for £1,000,000 in London, sure as hell reduces access if not stock! Oh and some of those high rises are now “des-res”

They have given us EU referendum – so at least we may get a chance to control borders

22% of all private-renting households in England are in London

Well yes. Given that 15% or so of Englanders live in London, that statistic is hardly remotely surprising. It means London is pretty much in line with all big cities, and not that much above the rural level come to that.

Average house prices in London are now 10 times the average salary

Not for Londoners they aren’t.

London is a very big city. Very big. You really can’t average the prices in the centre with those on the outside for a meaningful number. Inner city London prices are driven by totally different criteria to the outskirts. Millionaires buying toffy apartments in the inner city don’t drive up prices in the suburbs, and averaging the prices as if they do isn’t helpful.

There is a problem, and it isn’t the price of inner city London houses. It is that all England needs to start building houses, not just London.

Londonistan !!!

There is vast, ignored, criminal overcrowding – ignored because it is too politically sensitive to discuss as ethnicity and faith are central. A 3 bed terrace with 20 occupants – more and more common.

And building enough houses so that prices fell would not be politically acceptable to the beneficiaries of the boom and they are many.

A great issue for Londoners is who should get social housing – low paid workers or vital service providers to the masses.

Selling council houses did not reduce the housing stock. Dynamiting HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of flats in industrial-build Labour tower blocks and medium rise did.

Dundee Population 1970 — `186,000
Dundee Population 2015 — 142,000
Houses build 1970-2015 — 20,000 circa
June 2015 — 7,222 people on housing waiting list

Why? Population goes DOWN 40,000, house building takes place but shortage remains?
Because thousands of tower block flats – built by Labour were demolished.

That is a taboo subject. Careful you do not upset the Millennials.
