How many Londoners can afford a flat prized at £750k, buying 10% of such a flat isn’t home ownership, but a joke. Regulatory changes and sensible planning laws would result in a change, but where will the bank of mom and dad financed by inflated house prices be then?

It’s supply and demand, if you want to live in a massive bustling city you have to pay the price. If 50% affordable development is required, there will be less development. There are loads of places that aren’t as expensive but people use their own free will to make the choice. If the properties weren’t distributed by willingness to pay, then what? On skin colour? Religion? Time spent waiting? That way madness lies.
