"France, with the same population as the UK, builds twice as many homes each year.
"Twice as many. If London had the same density as Paris, it could more than double its population." Tom HarwoodWe don't want more homes built, we want fewer people.
Britain is overcrowded. It is being concreted over. Wildlife and natural habitat destroyed. Farmland and food growing areas destroyed. Water courses/flood plains built on.
We now know 20m immigrants have arrived in 2 decades
France has more net migration too countless previous governments have not done enough to build infrastructure, houses etc. We need the migration as there are 1m jobs currently unfilled. Govs have been too concerned giving cash to mates than spending in right places
Replying to
Yes. But most French people rent homes. Tenancies can be inherited. Home ownership in the centre of big cities like Paris and Marseilles etc is unusual. But there are legal controls on rent and landlords. Plus France is four times bigger than the U.K.
Replying to
Between 2010 and 2017, 370,000 homes were built in France on average every year. The UK has not built more the 200,000 homes a year since 1986, thanks to right to buy decimating the ability of Local Authorities to build houses. End right to buy or this problem will not go away
