The Government is trying to create a housing policy, which will permit the building of tens of thousands of houses, particularly in the South East. Here is a suggestion: cut the Government's association with the South East and others will follow, lowering demand for houses.
This list shows the percentage of a country's population which lives in the capital:
USA 1.7%
France 3.3%
Germany 4.1%
Italy 4.6%
UK 12.5%
The UK is London-centric. The Gvernment should take a lead. Modern communications would make it easy to move all the major government departments into the regions: Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol all have excellent road, rail and air links. Video conferencing should become the norm. Think how much we would save. Come on, Cameron, think outside the M25.
