LETTER: The state will foot the bill
So let’s fix development land at a maximum of £100,000 an acre, employ developers to build one million homes,at £120,000, allow people to purchase them,but it can only be sold back to the local Council or create a trust.
Then we won’t need to spend £24 billion a year on Housing Benefits, and £34 billion on helping first time buyers get on to the housing ladder, (the ladder to nowhere).
