You really are clueless. The building industry will build houses if there are people there to buy them. They're doing it all the time. The problem is finding people who earn enough to get a mortgage to pay the market price in areas with jobs. Your thinking is wrong.

People can't afford to pay for houses because there are too little of them. Building houses is the only way to make houses affordable again...
How many houses would it require before the prices drop back to the levels of 15 years ago? Then tell us who would invest in flooding a market to see profits disappear? Come up with numbers or STFU.

Like i said you can stop all migration and kick everyone out; you can make the best trading deals possible... You can leave the EU... it won't help at all... Default is inevetable...
This is the crunch. If the UK applies strict benefits rules to only British citizens. A million or more will return home. Don't just count those on benefits, count their families. In an instant 300,000 or more houses become vacant. The drop in prices and rents will follow.

A drop in public expenses drops dramatically as those in work and still relying on benefits vacate a job to be filled by a Brit and taking him off the Government tit.

The DWP said that between 37% and 43% of EU migrants received some sort of welfare. Not a firm figure, but a range ? and quite a range, the equivalent of 40,000 people. It is clear that ministers do not actually know the truth. The figures are a broad estimate.

Take the official figures at face value, though. They mean that in 2013 between 195,000 and 235,000 of the 525,000 EU nationals resident in the UK for less than four years were in households claiming either in-work or out-of-work benefits. About 66% of the claimants were in work, according to the same data, which does not include students.
They stick the 40,000 in to make it look small. What the Government is saying is around 40% of EU migrants earn too little to contribute and therefore a cost to the rest.

This is to get us out of debt. The big question is will the Government start cracking down on mass migration. Because its devastated most people lives.
