It wouldn't have such a dire need to build stuff without constant high immigration tbh.

Immigrants are not the reason there's a shortage of housing in the UK

Could you explain how it is not a major reason for the need to build? Without immigration the population would have been declining for a long time now. You quite litterally would not have to build nearly as much. Hell barely would have to build if not for the increase in single person households on top of that but that one has a predictible limit.

Also I wonder why my comment was flagged.

Maybe they should fix that.

How could we have made Brexit a success? I really didn't see many people saying how we could do that.

Redefine success to “kids leave school for factory jobs and never have to hear someone speak another language”, tada.

The people who were talking about Brexit for decades turned out not to have a plan. Shocking. That's populists for you.

Have you tried being more racist? I understand that's the solution.

Rather than taking an introverted look at political power, money and devolving English power from Westminster, in a similar manner as the NI, Scott and Welsh nations to fund investments outside of London.

Perhaps looking at national infrastructure, and agreeing what we want to see in towns and cities then using tax incentives to encourage desired behaviour.

Or we could just blame Europeans for British political decisions. That's been working well.

Making brexit a success is scheduled right after proving P = NP. You know, because we do the easier things first to keep the queue short.

What pain? All you have to do is lower the rent.

Real brexit has never been tried!

> The UK can't make stuff because the rent is too high.

the uncomfortable truth is it would make property less interesting for foreign money flowing in the UK.

Good. Property investment is not a good financial backbone from which to run a country. You do not want to suffer a property based Dutch disease.

Almost any other kind of investment is more useful.
