Abstract
- The article discusses the challenges faced by the British government in meeting its new-homes targets due to obstacles from local councils and Nimbys (people who oppose new development in their neighborhoods). The planning system is described as bureaucratic and hindering investment and social good. The urgency for more affordable housing is emphasized, as council spending on hotels for homeless households has tripled in the past five years. The article calls for a simplified planning process and a collaborative approach involving investors, government, developers, councils, and regional politicians to address the housing crisis.
