I don’t think it matters really whether it’s 500k or 1m, if you have a massive housing shortage and a failing health service.

That’s still almost 1% addition to the population every year.

Even if that means 100k families, you still need an extra 100k houses or flats ideally per year. That is impossible, even with super efficient planning laws.

The UK completed 177810 houses last year, and 174940 the year before that.

I'd guess there is still more interest in moving to London proper than space for additional housing within the city though.
