>>40062381>Housing crisis is caused by a tiny number of organisations and wealthy individuals owning the vast majority of the housing stock.No.
The housing crisis is a supply and demand issue at it's core.
Immigration is a primary contributor to it as well as Socialist ideals.
By Socialist ideals, I mean the worst extremes (everyone is entitled to a house, free healthcare, and benefits, and any immigrant should be welcome, including those that pass through 10 safe countries to claim asylum in England specifically).
Take into account that the UK, is an island, with zero room for expansion.
Most of the issues are centered around ENGLAND, and not the UK as a whole.
There are 20 US states that are bigger than England. England's area is 130,279 km2 (50,301 sq mi). The 20 states larger than England, listed in order of size, are: Alaska, Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Wyoming, Michigan, Utah, Idaho, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Washington, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.
The population of England in mid-2025 is estimated to be around 57.1 million.
There are no individual US states with a population higher than 57 million. U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the most populous state is California, with an estimated population of around 39.2 million.
People that immigrate to the UK also tend to house-share, with up to 10 people living in one house whilst sending any disposable income back to their home countries.
