There is a housing shortage in the UK - we are constantly being told this.
Convince me!

(Lots of property seems to be empty and held as investment, particularly in London. )

(Surely market economics say that if more houses are built then the price of all houses reduces as the supply increases. But prices don't. Why not? ).

It’s great. The old stadium can take the overflow from the tent city in the Showgrounds. Another 1000 houses can be turned into AirBnB’s.

“Treasurer Jim Chalmers said a 23,000 seat stadium 6.7 km away from an existing 20,000 seat stadium was exactly what struggling families needed. “When it comes finding a place to live, Australians love their footy,” he said.
